History
SR 256 was first designated between 1925 and 1926 on an alignment between Gnadenhutten at US 36 and Schoenbrunn at what was then US 250, SR 8, and SR 16.[4][5] Most of this route is currently SR 416, but also followed modern-day CR 125 into Schoenbrunn. Between 1932 and 1933, SR 16 took over SR 259 south of Goshen leaving the route only 2-mile (3.2 km) long.[6][7] This routing would remain intact until about 1965 when the US 250 freeway was built; this allowed SR 259 to be extended to SR 39.[8][9] Since then, no major changes in alignments have occurred.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Tuscarawas County.
