Route description

History

Established in 1960 as a renumbering of SC 77; little has changed since.[3][4]

Two predecessors existed before the current SC 177 came to existence. The first appeared from 1930-1936 as a new primary routing from US 176/SC 10, in Spartanburg, to the North Carolina state line; it eventually became part of SC 9. The second appeared from 1938-1951 as a new primary routing from US 176, southeast of Pomaria, to US 76/SC 2, near Ballentine. It was adjusted twice, in 1948 extending and replacing SC 664, and in 1950 shifting to meet with US 176/SC 121 split. It was eventually renumbered as an extension of US 176.[5]
