History
SR 821 was created in 1971. The designation was applied to what was the former routing of US 21 between Marietta and Byesville, prior to the completion of I-71 through the area by 1969. At the time, when the US 21 designation was removed from Ohio in favor of I-77, this stretch of roadway was removed from the state highway system. However, by 1971, it was introduced back into the system, and was given the designation of SR 821, based on its routing along the old path of US 21. The only portion of SR 821 that was not routed along US 21 was the northernmost segment in Byesville, where it was routed east along SR 209 to a common terminus at Exit 41 off of I-77.
