Ohio State Route 732
State Route 732 (SR 732) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Ohio. This two-lane state route begins at SR 129 (Hamilton-Scipio Road) in Butler County, and extends northward to end at the junction of U.S. Route 127 (US 127) and US 35/SR 122 in Eaton in Preble County, Ohio, traveling 30.94 miles (49.79 km).
This route gives access from northern and western Ohio via Interstate 70 (I-70) or US 127 to Miami University in Oxford and Hueston Woods State Park. It also passes the historic Fort St. Clair.
The south end of SR 732 is at SR 129 (Hamilton-Scipio Road) west of Millville, and three miles (4.8 km) east of the Indiana-Ohio border at Scipio. The route follows Sample Road going north from this intersection in Butler County for 3 miles (5 km) to Reily. In Reily, it turns east for a block and then continues north crossing Indian Creek as it leaves Reily as Oxford-Reily Road. Oxford is about 6 miles (10 km) north. SR 732 ascends a steep hill near Indian Creek Park. SR 732 continues north past a sharp bend as it leaves the creek and ascends to the flashing caution light as it crosses Stillwell-Becket Road with the water tower at the southwest corner of this intersection. SR 732 continues north through farm fields on a straight road passing Talawanda Middle School on the east side of the road.
SR 732 reaches the southwest corner of Oxford at the intersection of Oxford-Reily Road with West Chestnut Street. Chestnut Street is also known as Brookville Road. SR 732 turns eastbound on Chestnut Street and passes a traffic signal at South Locust Street, continuing east to the north end of Kehr Road. When SR 732 meets College Street, it passes the Talawanda Board of Education and Talawanda High School. SR 732 turns left on Main Street proceeding north and uphill to the traffic light on US 27 (High Street). Miami University is a few blocks east on High Street. SR 732 continues on Main Street northbound past the Presbyterian Church and McCullough-Hyde Hospital leaving Oxford and passing the historic Black Covered Bridge over Talawanda Creek. It is about 20 miles (32 km) to Eaton before reaching the Butler-Preble County line.
Just north of the county line is the east entrance to Hueston Woods State Park. A bit north of the park entrance is Oxford-Eaton Road (Preble County Road 29) which runs past the ODOT facility to join SR 177 northwestward to Morning Sun. SR 732 continues concurrent with SR 177 until a bit north of Morning Sun, where SR 732 continues due north crossing SR 725. SR 732 continues to jog east and north past Lakengren to meet US 127 at a traffic light in the south side of Eaton, the county seat of Preble County. One mile before the US 127 intersection is Eaton High School. The northern terminus of SR 732 is .5 miles (0.8 km) north at the US 35/SR 122 intersection with US 127 northwest of the Eaton County Court House in downtown Eaton.
According to ODOT District 8, the number of vehicles carried is between 660 and 5,270 vehicles a day, depending on the section.[citation needed] The 2010 Preble County Traffic Survey shows that the 10 mile segment of highway ending at U.S. 35 in Eaton had an average traffic volume of 4700 vehicles in a 24-hour period.
The first military road in Butler County was built in 1791 by General Arthur St. Clair from Cincinnati to Hamilton and continuing north to the fortifications at Eaton. This road was about 7 miles (11 km) east of Oxford and SR 732 and followed Seven Mile Creek This was done in his unsuccessful campaign. In 1794 General Anthony Wayne constructed a road north from Fort Hamilton a few miles east of St. Clair's road, giving rise to the long multi-county road "Wayne Trace". In 1804 the Ohio Legislature passed an act requiring roads to be 20 feet (6.1 m) wide with stumps not to exceed one foot.
Eaton Road (future SR 732) is clearly marked on McBride's Map of Oxford Township of 1836. The land and overshot mill of the Austins is also marked where Eaton Road crosses Talawanda Creek. Aaron Austin whose 1816 homestead is still near the Black Covered Bridge operated the Mill here on Talawanda Creek. The mill eventually passed into the hands of Pugh and the Austin land passed into the hands of a successful swine breeder, David Magie, a contributor to the Poland China Hog. The covered bridge was called Black by local people to distinguish it from the white painted bridge one mile (1.6 km) downstream which carried the traffic of the future SR 73.
