History
SR 101 was designated in 1923 following the same Tiffin–Clyde–Sandusky route it follows today.[3] At the time of its designation, the route was a mix of dirt roads, gravel roads, and asphalt-paved roads. The road was fully paved by 1929.[4] In 1932, SR 12 was routed along SR 101 from what is now SR 412 into downtown Sandusky.[5] This configuration would last until the late 1960s when SR 12 was truncated and the segment between Fremont and SR 101 was redesignated SR 412.[6][7]
Near the southern city limits of Sandusky, SR 101 formerly traveled on a straight line along Tiffin Avenue where it began a concurrency with US 6 at Venice Road and Sanford Street.
