History
The SR 730 designation was applied in 1939. The highway has maintained the same routing between SR 133 near Blanchester and the US 68/SR 134 concurrency in Wilmington throughout its lifespan. When it was established, SR 730 was a gravel highway, excepting the northernmost of the route, which were hard-surfaced.
Three years after its inception, the entire length of SR 730 was paved.
