History

The Batavia Turnpike and Miami Bridge Company was incorporated and chartered by the state of Ohio. A charter is the grant of authority or rights stating that the granter formally recognizes the prerogative of the recipient to exercise the rights specified It built a road, which was "about finished" as of 1841, beginning at the Wooster Turnpike (Eastern Avenue), crossing the Little Miami River on the Union Bridge, and turning east to Batavia. The Little Miami River (also called the Little Miami Scenic River) is a tributary of the Ohio River, approximately 106  mi (170  km Batavia is a village in and the County seat of Clermont County, Ohio, United States. ^[4][5] The Ohio Turnpike to Bethel split after the Little Miami was crossed. Bethel is a village in Clermont County, Ohio, United States. The population was 2637 at the 2000 census.

The passage of the McGuire Bill in 1911 led to the designation of a large number of Inter-County Highways to be maintained by the Ohio Department of Highways. ^[6] This network included the Cincinnati-Batavia Road (ICH 41) and Batavia-Winchester Road (ICH 125), connecting Cincinnati to Batavia, Williamsburg, Mt. Orab, Sardinia, Winchester, and beyond to an intersection with the West Union-Belfast Road (ICH 122) south of Seaman (where Graces Run Road now meets State Route 247). Batavia is a village in and the County seat of Clermont County, Ohio, United States. Williamsburg is a village in Clermont County, Ohio, United States. Mount Orab is a village in Brown County, Ohio, United States. Sardinia is a village in Brown County, Ohio, United States. The population was 862 at the 2000 census. Winchester is a village in Adams County, Ohio, United States. State Route 247 is a north-south State highway in the southern portion of the U State Route 247 is a north-south State highway in the southern portion of the U This entire route from Cincinnati to south of Seaman was designated and signed as State Route 74 in 1923. The route left downtown Cincinnati on Eastern Avenue, shared with State Route 7 (now U.S. Route 52) and State Route 25 (now State Route 125). State Route 7 is a north-south State highway in the southern and eastern portions of the U US Route 52 is a United States highway that runs across the northern eastern and southeastern regions of the United States. State Route 125 is an east-west State highway in the southwestern portion of the U State Route 125 is an east-west State highway in the southwestern portion of the U SR 7 left at Davis Lane (now Airport Road), while SR 25 and SR 74 turned onto Beechmont Avenue, splitting after crossing the Little Miami River. The Little Miami River (also called the Little Miami Scenic River) is a tributary of the Ohio River, approximately 106  mi (170  km By 1925, the east end of SR 74 had been realigned and extended, heading east from Winchester through Seaman and continuing through Peebles to State Route 73 northwest of Rarden; the old alignment (Graces Run Road) reverted to local control. Peebles is a village in Adams County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1739 at the 2000 census. State Route 73 is an east-west State highway in the southern portion of the U Rarden is a village in Scioto County, Ohio, United States. The population was 176 at the 2000 census. Along with U.S. Route 50, US 52, and SR 125, SR 74 was moved to Columbia Parkway in the early 1940s, and in the early 1950s it was removed from downtown Cincinnati to its present terminus. US Route 50 runs east-west across the southern part of the US Columbia Parkway is an expressway/parkway extending from Downtown Cincinnati Ohio to the Village of Fairfax, and serving as US-50 on Cincinnati's east Due to the existence of Interstate 74 west of Cincinnati, the number was changed to State Route 32 in 1962, with SR 74 signs being removed in June 1963 after a period of dual signage. Interstate 74 (abbreviated I-74) is an Interstate highway in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. ^[7]

The state relocated the road between Mount Carmel and Batavia as a four-lane divided highway in the early 1960s, several years after the parallel State Route 125 was widened (but not realigned). Mount Carmel is a Census-designated place (CDP in Clermont County, Ohio, United States. Batavia is a village in and the County seat of Clermont County, Ohio, United States. State Route 125 is an east-west State highway in the southwestern portion of the U Because this was done before or during the renumbering, the old road here is known as Old State Route 74, rather than Old State Route 32 to the east. Improvement of the rest of the road did not take place until after it was added to the Appalachian Development Highway System in 1965. The Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS is part of the Appalachian Regional Commission in the United States. ^[8] This proposed Appalachian Highway - part of Corridor D - was to run across the southern part of the state from Interstate 275 outside Cincinnati to Belpre. Corridor D is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System. Belpre is a city in Washington County, Ohio, United States, along the Ohio River. ^[9] From the east end of SR 32 east of Peebles, the route was to continue northeast, joining State Route 772 near Elmgrove, and following State Route 124 beyond Jackson to Roads. Peebles is a village in Adams County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1739 at the 2000 census. State Route 772 is a north-south State highway in the south-central portion of the U State Route 124 is an east-west State highway in the southern portion of the U Jackson is a city in and the County seat of Jackson County, Ohio, United States. After continuing northeast to Radcliff, it would parallel State Route 346 and a portion of State Route 143, merging with U.S. Route 50 west of Albany and following it past Athens and Coolville to Belpre. US Route 50 runs east-west across the southern part of the US Albany is a village in Athens County, Ohio, United States. The population was 808 at the 2000 census. Athens is a historic College town in the southeastern part of the U Coolville is a village located in Troy Township, Athens County, Ohio, United States, in the extreme southeast of the state A never-built branch, planned as part of Corridor B,^[10] would have followed State Route 73 and State Route 348 from east of Peebles to Lucasville on U.S. Route 23 (Corridor C). Corridor B is a Highway in the US states of North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. State Route 73 is an east-west State highway in the southern portion of the U State Route 348 is an east-west State highway in the south central portion of the U Lucasville is a Census-designated place (CDP in Scioto County, Ohio, United States.
