The highway runs between its western terminus at State Route 93 in West Lafayette and its eastern terminus at a diamond interchange with Interstate 77 on the outskirts of the village of Stone Creek.

Route description

State Route 751 traverses portions of Coshocton and Tuscarawas Counties. There is no portion of this state highway that is included as a part of the National Highway System.^[2]

History

The debut of State Route 751 came in 1962 along what was formerly designated State Route 75 between the current western terminus in West Lafayette and the intersection with Bridge Street (formerly U.S. Route 21) in Stone Creek. With the construction of Interstate 75 in the western part of the Buckeye State, and the state's rule that no state highway number may duplicate an Interstate or U.S. route number, State Route 75 was redesignated in part as an extension of State Route 93 from West Lafayette south, and as the newly-designated State Route 751 from West Lafayette to Stone Creek.^[3][4]

With the completion of Interstate 77 around Stone Creek by 1971, and corresponding removal of U.S. Route 21 from Ohio in that year, State Route 751 was extended through Stone Creek from its previous eastern terminus along Bridge Street, then easterly from the split of Tuscarawas County Road 21 (former U.S. Route 21) to its current eastern terminus at Interstate 77's Exit 73. No other significant changes have taken place to the routing of State Route 751 since that extension.^[5][6]
