State Route 168 is located entirely within the southeastern quadrant of Geauga County. The route is not included as a part of the National Highway System, a network of highways deemed most vital to the nation's economy, mobility and defense.[2]

History

As it appeared when it was first designated in 1924, State Route 168 followed what is currently the portion of State Route 87 between State Route 168's current northern terminus in Burton and the State Route 45 in the unincorporated community of North Bloomfield, while State Route 87 was routed along the entirety of the current State Route 168 from Burton to Parkman.[3][4] Three years later, State Route 87 and State Route 168 swapped alignments, with State Route 87 being re-routed onto its current alignment east of Burton, and the State Route 168 designation being applied to its current routing.[5][6]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Geauga County.
