There are no segments of SR 231 that are included within the [National Highway System](/source/National_Highway_System_(United_States)) (NHS).

The highway was originally a short connector route in the [Nevada](/source/Nevada%2C_Ohio) vicinity, running between the former SR 182, now County Road 182, CR 182, in Nevada and the old two-lane alignment of [U.S. Route 30](/source/U.S._Route_30_(Ohio)) (US 30), now designated as CR 330, north of the village.{{cite map |title=Map of Ohio State Highways |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1922a.sid |format=[MrSID](/source/MrSID) |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways and Public Works |date=April 1922 |cartography=ODHPW |access-date=2011-05-13}}{{cite map |title=Map of Ohio Showing State Routes |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1923a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways and Public Works |date=July 1923 |cartography=ODHPW |access-date=2011-05-13}} In 1932, SR 231 was extended south along the routing that it presently utilizes south of Nevada to its current southern terminus in Morral.{{cite map |title=Map of Ohio Showing State Highway System |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1931a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1931 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-05-13}}{{cite map |title=Map of Ohio Showing State Highway System |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1932a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1932 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-05-13}} Five years after being extended on the south ended, SR 231 was lengthened on the north end, following its present alignment along a previously county-maintained roadway to a new northern terminus at its present eastern junction with [SR 103](/source/Ohio_State_Route_103) east of [Sycamore](/source/Sycamore%2C_Ohio).{{cite map |title=Official Ohio Highway Map |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1936a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1936 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-05-13}}{{cite map |title=Official Ohio Highway Map |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1937a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1937 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-05-13}} Then, in 1939, SR 231 was extended to the north one more time, via a concurrency with SR 103 and SR 67 and then along a previously unnumbered roadway to its present northern terminus in Tiffin.{{cite map |title=Official Ohio Highway Map |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1938a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1938 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-05-13}}{{cite map |title=Ohio Highway Map |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1939a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1939 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-05-13}} ==Major intersections== {{OHinttop|length_ref=}} {{OHint |county=Marion |cspan=3 |location=Morral |mile=0.00 |road=[CSX](/source/CSX) [railroad crossing](/source/Level_crossing) |notes=Morral–Kirkpatrick Road continues west}} {{OHint |ctdab=Marion |location=Grand Prairie Township |lspan=2 |mile=3.13 |road={{jct|state=OH|OH|423|dir1=South|city1=Marion|name1=Marion-Upper Sandusky Road}} |notes=Northern terminus of SR 423}} {{OHint |mile=3.43 |road={{jct|state=OH|US|23|city1=Marion|city2=Upper Sandusky}} |notes=Interchange}} {{OHint |county=Wyandot |cspan=6 |ctdab=Wyandot |location=Marseilles Township |lspan=2 |mile=5.67 |type=concur |road={{jct|state=OH|OH|294|dir1=East}} |notes=Southern end of SR 294 concurrency }} {{OHint |mile=7.38 |type=concur |road={{jct|state=OH|OH|294|dir1=West}} |notes=Northern end of SR 294 concurrency }} {{OHint |location=Nevada |mile=12.33 |road={{jct|state=OH|US|30|city1=Mansfield|city2=Upper Sandusky|city3=Van Wert}} |notes=Interchange}} {{OHint |ctdab=Wyandot |location=Sycamore Township |mile=22.24 |type=concur |road={{jct|state=OH|OH|103|dir1=East|city1=Chatfield|road|T-148}} |notes=Southern end of SR 103 concurrency}} {{OHint |location=Sycamore |lspan=2 |mile=24.26 |type=concur |road={{jct|state=OH|OH|67|dir1=West|OH|103|dir2=West|name2=West Saffell Avenue|road|South Sycamore Avenue}} |notes=Northern end of SR 103 concurrency;
