The original South Dakota 21 was in place when the U.S. highway system was implemented in 1926. At that time, U.S. Highway 81 was assigned to the route of SD 21, and both numbers shared the road. When U.S. 81 in this area was rerouted a few miles east, SD 21 was kept on the old alignment, and has remained in place since.
