Bradenton Road was then designated SR 683A.

County Road 772 (CR 772) is Venice Avenue, the primary east–west road through Venice. The western 1.5 miles of Venice Avenue from the Gulf of Mexico was a city street when Venice was incorporated in the 1920s. The road from the Myakka River west was originally a separate road known as Venice Farm Road. At Hatchett Creek, Venice Farm Road shifted north a block and ran along present-day Ridgewood Avenue to Venice. Venice Farm Road was originally part of SR 311, but was redesignated as SR 770 as part of the 1945 Florida State Road renumbering. The west end of Venice Farm Road was realigned to connect with Venice Avenue in the late 1950s, making it part of Venice Avenue. The Intracoastal Waterway was dug through Venice in the late 1960s after the realignment of US 41. In preparation for the construction of the waterway, Venice Avenue was elevated on to the Venice Avenue Bridge, which was built in 1966. Venice Avenue was designated as SR 772 in the early 1970s. It subsequently became CR 772 when it was given to county control. Major intersections ==County Road 773==

County Road 775A (CR 775A) is the unsigned designation for West Dearborn Street and Old Englewood Road in Englewood. It then became SR 311 up until the 1945 Florida State Road renumbering.

SR 775 (which became SR 776 in later years) was realigned to run along an extended Indiana Avenue, with the old route becoming Old Englewood Road. Old Englewood Road and East Dearborn Street were then designated SR 775A (and later CR 775A). ==County Road 777==

County Road 777 (CR 777) is East Dearborn Street and River Road running from Englewood to North Port. The road from Englewood to North Port at present-day Playmore Road was an early alignment of the Tamiami Trail (US 41) along with Englewood Road (via Old Englewood Road) to the northwest. The current route of US 41 from North Port to South Venice was built in the 1930s, bypassing Englewood. The route was then designated SR 311, which served as a loop of US 41 spanning from Englewood to North Port and back northwest to Venice. After the 1945 Florida State Road renumbering, the route was designated SR 777, which spanned from SR 775 in Englewood to US 41 in North Port, then northwest paralleling the Myakka River to Venice Avenue (known then as Venice Farm Road). The portion of SR 777 north of US 41 was transferred to the county sometime in the 1950s (though it was transferred back to the state in 2018). The southern portion from US 41 to SR 775 was transferred to the county sometime between 1978 and 1979. In the early 1960s, the southern end of SR 777 was truncated by a quarter of a mile when SR 775 (now SR 776) was realigned along Indiana Avenue. Major intersections ==County Road 778==
