History
The designation of State Route 530 took place in 1937. From its inception, State Route 530 has been routed along the same alignment that it utilizes today.[3][4]
SR 530 originally had its eastern end at U.S. Route 21. Following the removal of US 21 in Ohio circa 1969, SR 530 received a short eastern extension over former US 21 to end at SR 145 at Lower Salem.[5] By 1971, SR 821 was created to follow the former US 21 alignment south of Byesville and SR 530 was truncated back to its original end.[6]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Washington County.
