An alternate theory is that the city was named after Busiris, a city of ancient Egypt.The Bucyrus Foundry and Manufacturing Company, a predecessor to Bucyrus International, Inc.

In 1971 a modern, limited-access bypass was built to the north, but the associated freeway links to the east and west of Bucyrus, replacing the old two-lane Lincoln Highway route, were not completed until 2005, nearly 35 years after they were first proposed.
