History
The SR 309 corridor was originally signed as SR 10, in 1923. In 1926 US 30 was commissioned to follow SR 10 from Delphos to Mansfield. The route was divided in 1932, with US 30S following current SR 309 and US 30N following the Lincoln Highway, the current US 30 corridor. The divided routes were removed in 1974 with SR 309 replacing US 30S and US 30 replacing US 30N.
