History
In early 1937, the roadway that would eventually be signed as part of SR 360 was established as part of SR 120 in the Hiram area.
Near the end of 1940, this entire segment of SR 120 was paved.
Between 1963 and 1966, SR 360 was established from Hiram to Marietta, but it is unclear whether the segment concurrent with SR 120 was established at this time.
