History
The SR 511 designation was applied in 1937. Originally, the highway was routed from its present southern terminus at SR 39 to its western junction with US 20 just south of
Kipton.
The highway was extended north through Kipton and then east through Oberlin to its current northern terminus at the US 20 freeway just east of Oberlin in 1989. This extension replaced what was formerly the westernmost portion of
SR 10, and coincided the completion of the US 20 freeway heading northeast from the Oberlin area toward

. The western terminus of SR 10 was relocated to the junction of US 20 and
SR 57 just southeast of Elyria at that time, and SR 511 was extended as a result.
