History
Prior to 1926 the SR 7 designation was routed along the US 24 corridor. At this time modern SR 7 route was part of SR 26.[2] In 1926 the modern route of SR 7 was planned to become part of SR 11 designation.[3] Later in 1926 the SR 11 designation became SR 7, routed from Madison to Columbus.[4] Between 1931 and 1932 the entire route of SR 7 became a hard driving surface.[5][6] US 31 was rerouted onto SR 7 northwest of the modern intersection between the two roads between 1939 and 1941.[7][8] By 1942 US 31 was rerouted onto its modern route towards Columbus.[8][9] The northern end of SR 7 was moved to its current location, at SR 46, in either 1999 or 2000.[10][11]
