History

SR 252 was assigned in 1925. It was originally along its current alignment from its southern terminus at SR 18 and SR 57 northwest of Medina to its junction with SR 82, at the time known as SR 81, west of Strongsville.[4][5] One year later, the highway was extended north to its current northern terminus.[7]
