State Route 199 (SR 199) is a north-south highway in northwest Ohio. Its southern terminus is at US 23 just south of Upper Sandusky, and its northern terminus is at US 20 in Perrysburg; this point is also the western terminus of SR 795.
The route begins northerly into Upper Sandusky, and then on to Carey, where it joins US 23. The two routes run concurrently from Carey to Fostoria. From there, SR 199 continues to West Millgrove and to US 6, whose route it joins for a mile as it crosses the Portage River. The route then continues north to Perrysburg.
[edit] History
Most of Ohio 199 was formerly the route of U.S. 23. Before 1966, Ohio 199 truncated at the south in Fostoria, followed most of the current route of U.S. 23, and truncated at the north just east of Toledo, Ohio. In 1966, Ohio 199 was extended along its current route to Upper Sandusky along U.S. 23's current route from Fostoria to Carey and its old route from Carey To Upper Sandusky. In 1969, it switched routes with U.S. 23 from Fostoria to Perrysburg.
