Route description

Along its path, SR 598 travels through eastern Crawford County, northwestern Richland County and southwestern Huron County. SR 598 is not included as a part of the National Highway System (NHS).

History

SR 598 was applied in 1937. The highway was originally routed along its present alignment from its southern terminus in Galion to its junction with SR 98 northeast of Tiro.^[1][2] One year later, SR 598 was extended to the northeast along a previously un-numbered roadway, then northerly along a brief overlap of SR 61 and a short state highway that had carried the SR 289 designation to its current northern terminus at what was then the predecessor to SR 103, SR 194.^[7]
