History
SR 376 was designated in 1934. Originally, the highway ran from its current southern terminus at SR 266 near
Stockport to the former SR 77 (now SR 60) in
McConnelsville.
In 1937, SR 376 was extended north of McConnelsville along a previously un-numbered roadway up to a new northern terminus at
SR 340 in the hamlet of Ruraldale.
By 1964, SR 340 was truncated to its current western terminus at
SR 284. The portion east of SR 376 would become known as county-maintained Ruraldale Road, while the portion to the west would become an extension of SR 376 that would take it to its current northern terminus at SR 60 in Blue Rock.
