History
SR 236 was commissioned in 1924, along current SR 93, between Canal Fulton and its current northern terminus. In 1925 SR 236 was rerouted onto its current alignment from near Crystal Springs to the northern terminus with SR 93. Between 1955 and 1957, the southern terminus was moved, to its current location, in Massillon.
