History

A sign denoting Ohio State Route 257 in Dublin.

The SR 257 designation was applied in 1926. Originally, the highway was routed along its present southernmost alignment along the eastern banks of the Scioto River between Dublin and its northeastern junction with US 42.[4][5]

In 1935, SR 257 was extended via a short concurrency with US 42 across the Scioto River, then north along its present alignment along the western side of the river to a new northern terminus at SR 37 west of Delaware.[9][10] Then, two years after its first northward extension, SR 257 was extended to the north again, this time to its present northern terminus at SR 47 in Prospect.[11][12]

SR 257 was designated the General Thaddeus Kosciusko Memorial Highway in December 1975.[13]
