History

Established in 1937 as a renumbering of SC 59 to match NC 274; it originally ran from SC 49 to the North Carolina state line. In 1939, it was extended south to SC 5 (now SC 161), running a concurrency with SC 49. In 1942, the entire route was fully paved. Between 1959-1961, SC 274 was extended south again to its current southern terminus on Cherry Road, in Rock Hill.[2]
