Route description

The entirety of State Route 221 is situated in the southwestern quadrant of Brown County. State Route 221 is included as a part of the National Highway System.[2]

History

State Route 221 first appeared in 1924. At the time, it followed the routing of what is now the county-maintained Old U.S. 68 running between Ripley and Georgetown. Meanwhile, what is currently State Route 221 between Higginsport and Georgetown was at the time designated as a portion of State Route 53.[3][4] In 1933, when U.S. Route 68 was extended into Ohio, the U.S. route replaced all of State Route 221 from Ripley to Georgetown. With all of State Route 53 from Georgetown north to Kenton replaced by U.S. Route 68, the State Route 221 designation, rather than be removed, was simply transposed onto the former routing of State Route 53 between Higginsport and Georgetown. Consequently, State Route 221 has utilized this alignment since 1933 without any significant changes.[5][6]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Brown County.
