Route History
State Route 12's original routing in 1924 had it end in Findlay at its western terminus, and its eastern terminus extended from Fremont on U.S. Route 6's current route, going through Sandusky before ending in Rocky River.
In 1926, its eastern terminus was moved into Sandusky; its route to Rocky River was replaced with State Route 2.
When U.S. Route 6 was certified in 1932, State Route 12 was rerouted through the town of Castalia, ending in Sandusky. On this route, State Route 12 shared a route with State Route 101 from Castalia to Sandusky.
In 1938, State Route 12's western terminus was moved to U.S. Route 30 near Delphos. This terminus was moved to Vaughnsville in 1971, when U.S. Route 30 moved off the Lincoln Highway.
In 1969, State Route 12's eastern terminus was moved to its current terminus. The section of road between Fremont and State Route 101 that was formerly State Route 12 was recertified as State Route 412.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or history:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
