History
When SR 175 was created in 1923, it ran from Painesville westward along current SR 283 along Lake Erie to the current intersection of SR 175 and SR 283 in Euclid, then turned south along its current alignment until just northwest of its current southern terminus, where it followed Perkins and Columbus Roads southwest to SR 14 in Bedford. In 1929, the portion of SR 175 along Lake Erie was replaced with part of the SR 6 designation, and SR 175 was shortened to its current northern terminus. In 1946, SR 283 was re-routed and extended southward through its current southern terminus to SR 14/Broadway Avenue on the boundary between Cuyahoga and Summit Counties, replacing the SR 613 designation that had run between SR 43 and SR 14. By 1967, SR 175 was shortened to its current southern terminus.
