History


In 1932, an unnumbered state highway following the general route of the modern-day SR 362 was established on the west side of Lake Loramie. This route started at Fort Loramie-Swanders Road (modern-day County Road 27) and traveled north to the intersection of Main Street and First Street in Minster. By 1934, the route had been formally designated SR 362. A second, unconnected segment of SR 362 was designated in 1937 on the southern side of Lake Loramie. This segment ran 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Fort Loramie-Swanders Road north to the vicinity of Filburns Island. Between 1955 and 1957, the discontinuous segment to Filburns Island was removed from the route and the southern terminus was moved to downtown Fort Loramie. Since then, no major changes have occurred to the routing.
