South Carolina Highway 211 (SC 211) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The highway serves the rural areas of southern Cherokee and western York counties.

Route description

SC 211 is a 27.1-mile (43.6 km) two-lane rural highway. The highway begins at SC 150, north of Pacolet in Cherokee County, going easterly along Asbury Road to Asubry, where it connects with SC 18. Splitting from SC 18 onto Gowdeysville Road, it connects with SC 105 in Saratt. Solo again, when it splits from SC 105 with Hickory Grove Road, it crosses the Broad River and into York County. At Hickory Grove, it connects briefly with SC 97, before continuing southeasterly to Sharon, where it ends at SC 49.

History

SC 211 was established by 1942 as a renumbering of part of SC 105, from SC 105 to SC 5, in Hickory Grove.[2][3] In 1951-52, SC 211 was extended east to its current eastern terminus with SC 91, in Sharon, replacing part of SC 5.[4] In 1955-56, SC 211 was extended west to its current western terminus with SC 18 (later becoming SC 150), replacing SC 98. This is the third and current version of SC 211.[5]

The first SC 211 existed between 1925-1928, traveling between SC 21, in Travelers Rest, to the North Carolina state line at Caesars Head. It was renumbered as SC 284, later becoming part of US 276.

The second SC 211 existed between 1932-1942, initially traveling between US 21, in Fort Mill, and SC 26, in Indian Land. In 1939 it was extended to the North Carolina state line. In 1941 or 1942, it was renumbered to SC 160.
