History edit
SR 754 came into being in 1962 along its current alignment, replacing what was previously designated as a portion of SR 77 prior to the designation of I-77 in Ohio.[4][5] The current route has been a part of the state highway system since 1937 when it was the northernmost section of SR 234.[6][7] Within one year, the route had been redesignated SR 77.[8] By 1953, the entire route had been paved after being a gravel road since its inclusion within the system.[7][9] Except for its renumbering, no major changes have taken place to the routing of SR 754 since its inception.
