History
State Route 750 was established in 1937. Originally, the highway ran from State Route 257 to its junction with State Route 315. In 1997, State Route 750 was extended eastward from State Route 315, crossing the Olentangy River and U.S. Route 23 via Powell Road, then following Polaris Parkway around to a new eastern terminus at Exit 121 off of Interstate 71 in the far northern end of Columbus.
With a planned expansion of the Columbus Zoo in the works, State Route 750's westernmost portion was re-routed to the south in 2007 onto an all new alignment that brought its western terminus in line with the intersection of State Route 257 and County Road 126.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
