History

SR 729 was first designated in 1937 between what was then US 35 near Octa and Milledgevile (now the eastern terminus of SR 435) and its present northern terminus. In 1940, the route was extended south on a new alignment to Sabina and took over SR 350 from SR 73 to Sabina (SR 350 at that time ran east of SR 350 instead of ending in New Vienna as it does today). No major changes have occurred to the routing since then.
