Ohio State Route 306
State highway in northeastern Ohio, US
State Route 306 (SR 306) is a north–south state highway in northeastern Ohio, running from its southern terminus at SR 43 in Aurora to its northern terminus at SR 283 in Mentor. Most of the road from Aurora north to Kirtland is part of the former Chillicothe Turnpike and is known as Chillicothe Road. The Kirtland Temple, the first temple built by the Latter Day Saint movement (Mormons), is located on SR 306 in central Kirtland.
History
SR 306 was first designated in 1932 following its current route between US 322 and SR 283. In 1935, the Aurora-US 422 segment was brought into the state highway system, but as SR 382. By 1937, the two routes were united as SR 306; also at this time, the road connecting Aurora and Hudson was included as the southernmost segment of SR 306. In 1942, the Hudson-Aurora segment was removed from the state highway system, but by this time, the entire route had been paved. No major changes have occurred to the routing since that time.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 27, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2492319. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1932, 1935, 1937 and 1942.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
