Along its path, SR 598 travels through eastern Crawford County, northwestern Richland County and southwestern Huron County. SR 598 is not included as a part of the National Highway System (NHS).

History

SR 598 was applied on April 15, 1937 to a former county road.[4] The highway was originally routed along its present alignment from its southern terminus in Galion to its junction with SR 98 northeast of Tiro.[6][7] One year later, SR 598 was extended to the northeast along a previously un-numbered roadway, then northerly along a brief overlap of SR 61 and a short state highway that had carried the SR 289 designation to its current northern terminus at what was then the predecessor to SR 103, SR 194.[8]

gollark: Also, due to technical quirks, they often aren't as decentralized as often claimed. But nobody seems to care very much about this.
gollark: Yet people don't care about learning and don't do it and do gambling.
gollark: It's not particularly hard, in my opinion, to learn basic things about probability and expected value and such. It's difficult to *internalize* them and use them all the time, but gambling is a situation which is obviously bound by them and in which you can use formal mathematical reasoning easily.
gollark: This isn't really much of an explanation.
gollark: Those are separate.
