History
Since it was created in 1923, SR 211 has existed in the Dover vicinity. However, the original routing is much different than how it runs today. In 1923, SR 211 traveled from
Around 1964, with the construction of I-77 commencing, SR 39 was relocated to bypass downtown Dover to the west. It was routed to travel on SR 211 north of US 21 leaving SR 211 only on the portion between SR 16 and US 21.[8] Within a couple of years, US 250's relocation onto a freeway bypassing New Philadelphia obliterated the surface road between SR 16 and US 21 leading to the temporary retirement of the SR 211 designation.[9] The designation resurfaced around 1971 when a state-maintained road connecting SR 39 and SR 800 was created in Dover, partly along what was previously SR 39.[10] The route has not experienced any reroutings since the second designation.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Dover, Tuscarawas County.
