 When it was initially designated, it was routed along much of its current alignment from its western terminus at SR 245, at the time known as SR 275, to the T-intersection it has with the former two-lane alignment of US 33, now part of SR 347, but originally designated as SR 32.The highway would remain along this routing entirely within Logan County until 1999, when the freeway portion of US 33 was extended northwest from the Logan–Union County line to Bellefontaine.Consequently, the former two-lane portion of US 33 northwest of SR 287 was removed from the state highway system, and became known as CR 144 (though eventually the segment would return to the state highway system as SR 347).
