State Route 672 (SR 672, OH 672) is a 3.13-mile (5.04 km) long east–west state highway in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. The highway runs from its western terminus at a Y-intersection with SR 146 nearly 1.75 miles (2.82 km) northeast of Cumberland to its eastern terminus at a T-intersection with SR 821 about 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of the village of Pleasant City.

Route description

Along its path, SR 672 passes through the southwestern part of Guernsey County and a small part of northwestern Noble County. The highway begins at a Y-intersection with SR 146 northeast of Cumberland in Spencer Township. From this intersection, SR 672 runs to the northeast up an incline before turning to the east-southeast and leveling off, passing amidst a blend of open fields and forest, with a few homes also appearing along the way. The route crosses Garvin School Road, then curves to the northeast at the Corwin Road T-intersection. It then crosses into the southern portion of Valley Township. After bending to the east and then back to the southeast, SR 672 passes into Noble County, traveling a short distance through Buffalo Township prior to arriving at its endpoint at a T-intersection with SR 821.^[5]

This state route is not included as a part of the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS is a network of highways identified as being most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the country.^[6]

History

SR 672 was applied in 1937. Throughout its lifespan, the highway has utilized the same routing through portions of Guernsey and Noble Counties. The only change relative to SR 672 since its debut was the intersecting route at its eastern terminus. While its western terminus has always been at SR 146, the route it met at its eastern terminus originally was the predecessor to SR 821, U.S. Route 21 (US 21). SR 672 has been paved since its inception.^[1][2]
