History

SR 260 was first assigned around 1926 on its present alignment between SR 145 in Road [Fork, Ohio|Road Fork] to SR 78 near East Union, entirely in Noble County. SR 245 was signed on the present SR 260 route between Matamoras and Bloomfield, [Washington County, Ohio|Bloomfield] at SR 26 as well; the section between SR 26 and SR 145 was not a part of the state highway system at the time. By 1933, SR 260 extended east from SR 145 in Monroe County to the community of Marr. Within the next two years, the route was extended south to Bloomfield and absorbed all of SR 245. Since then, no major changes have taken effect on the routing.
