History
The route was originally part of the larger State Route 80, established in 1923. The original northern terminus for SR 80 was at
Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant. The portion from Edinburg south retained the SR 80 designation until 1962, when it was renumbered as State Route 183. As of 2020, SR 700 follows its original routing through Portage and Geauga Counties and has been paved for its entire lifespan.[3][4]
