State Route 235 is a north–south state highway in the western portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 68 near the small town of Oldtown just north of Xenia, and its northern terminus is at State Route 65 at the Maumee River nearly 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Grand Rapids.
Prior to 1969 it was numbered State Route 69, but was renumbered 235. There are a number of urban legends pertaining to why this renumbering occurred. One is that the number 69 has certain sexual meanings in popular culture, and the signs kept getting stolen. (There were actually numerous cases of people stealing the signs for this route.) Another was that it was too close to Interstate 69 (less than 40 miles (64 km) in some areas) and the state decided to avoid the confusion.
