History

The SR 289 designation was applied in 1950. Originally, the highway was routed from the intersection with Wick Avenue, at the time a part of US 62/SR 7, and running southeasterly along its present alignment to its eastern terminus at the Pennsylvania state line just southeast of Lowellville. Prior to 1950, SR 289 was designated as the easternmost segment of SR 18.

By 1971, when the freeway carrying SR 193 and US 422 between Interstate 680
