VA 29 #1: Appeared in 1923 as a renumbering of VA 9X, running from Gloucester Point to VA 30 (now SR 678) near Shacklefords.
In late 1926, US 17 was added to the entirety of VA 29. In Aug 1928 (CTB), VA 29 was extended west with VA 30, then north as new routing to King and Queen CH, then replaced VA 131 to St Stephens Church, then extended north 2.13 miles as new primary routing.
VA 29 #2: appeared in July 1933, replacing part of VA 28 from US 15-29 Culpeper via Jeffersonton to US 15 ALT Warrenton. Between 1933-36, VA 29 was moved onto Main St all the way in Culpeper, leaving behind SR 685 (Old Rixeyville Rd, West St and William St. In Oct 1947 (CTB), VA 29 was renumbered as VA 229 from Culpeper to near Jeffersonton, and downgraded to SR 802 from VA 229 to Warrenton. The stated reason for the renumbering was that there were "two route 29s between Culpeper and Warrenton causing much confusion to strangers."
