Route description[]

The path of SR 163 takes it through the northeastern portion of Wood County and the entire width of Ottawa County. No segment of this state route is included within the National Highway System.[5]

History[]

The SR 163 designation was applied in 1923. Originally, the highway ran along its present routing from its intersection with SR 51, at the time a part of SR 2 and later designated as the now-defunct SR 102, on the outskirts of Genoa, and its eastern terminus near Marblehead.[1][2] SR 163 was extended west into Wood County along a previously un-numbered road from Genoa to its present western terminus at US 20 southeast of Perrysburg.[6][7]
