State Route 500 (SR 500) is a 13.32-mile-long (21.44 km)
The highway was first signed in 1937 on much of the same alignment as today. SR 500 replaced the SR 194 designation of the highway which dated back to 1923; SR 194 ran between Payne and Paulding. Some of the highway was paved in 1937, with the rest of the route being paved in 1951.
Route description
SR 500 begins at an intersection with county-maintained State Line Road and Paulding Road on the Indiana state line in western
The road arrives at a
The route curves to the northeast at the County Road 47 (CR 47) intersection and, upon crossing a set of railroad tracks, departs Payne. Now traveling through Harrison Township, the routes travel past rows of houses on each side of the highway before emerging into a landscape of farmland. Woods then appear along both sides of the roadway a short distance before SR 613 turns off to the east from SR 500, which continues in an east-northeasterly fashion. The route proceeds into Paulding Township passing a mix of farmland and houses, with forested land appearing along the south side at intervals where Flatrock Creek passes close to the highway. At CR 132, the highway turns north for a short distance, passing along the west side of the campus of Paulding County Hospital just prior to its endpoint at SR 111 in the westernmost part of Paulding. Continuing north after SR 500 ends is CR 103.[4][5][6]

History
In 1923, SR 500 was signed as SR 194 northeast from Payne to Paulding and west of Payne was a county road.[10][11] SR 194 was decommissioned in 1927 leaving the route that later became SR 500 as a county road.[12][13] The commissioning of SR 500 took place in 1937, and replaced a county road west of Payne, while east of Payne it replaced the former route of SR 194. The highway had a gravel surface between the Indiana state line and SR 49, while between SR 49 and its eastern terminus at SR 111 it was paved.[2][3] In 1951, the westernmost portion of SR 500 between the Indiana state line and SR 49 was paved.[14][15] By 1955, SR 113, now SR 613, was rerouted to be concurrent with SR 500 northeast of Payne to the current eastern split of the two routes.[16] No significant changes have taken place to this state route since 1955.[5][16]
