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]
