History

SR 231 was applied in 1923. The highway was originally a short connector route in the Nevada vicinity, running between the former SR 182, now County Road 182, CR 182, in Nevada and the old two-lane alignment of U.S. Route 30 (US 30), now designated as CR 330, north of the village.[4][5]

In 1932, SR 231 was extended south along the routing that it presently utilizes south of Nevada to its current southern terminus in Morral.[7][8] Five years after being extended on the south ended, SR 231 was lengthened on the north end, following its present alignment along a previously county-maintained roadway to a new northern terminus at its present eastern junction with SR 103 east of Sycamore.[9][10] Then, in 1939, SR 231 was extended to the north one more time, via a concurrency with SR 103 and SR 67 and then along a previously unnumbered roadway to its present northern terminus in Tiffin.[11][12]
