History

SR 15 was certified in 1923, along the current US 322, which replaced it in 1926.
In 1926 the designation was reapplied to a route from Carey to the Indiana state line. In 1929 it was rerouted to Bryan, replacing parts of SR 9. It replaced the rest of SR 9 in 1931, rerouted along its current route to the Michigan state line.
In 1966, SR 15 was rerouted on an expressway from I-75 in Findlay to US 23 in Carey, its new southern terminus. The highway runs a few miles south of its previous routing, which was recertified as SR 568 the same year.
