[edit] History
When designated in the 1920's, South Dakota 22 ran west to east across the entire width of the state, on what is currently U.S. Highway 212. When U.S. 212 was assigned in 1927, SD 22 was moved south onto a new alignment, beginning at South Dakota Highway 45 near Howell, and ending at what was then South Dakota Highway 41 (current U.S. Highway 281) south of Redfield. This route was truncated in the mid 1930's to the current alignment, although there was a north-south segment between Hazel and U.S. Highway 212. This portion of the segment was deleted in 1992.
