Creation: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 606 and VA 628. Ran essentially as it does today. This is the 3rd VA 201.
Adjustments: In Aug 1933 (CTB), VA 201 was extended west towards Monaskon.
In Sept 1937 (CTB), VA 201 was extended to Monaskon.
In May 1943 (CTB), VA 201 was truncated back to its current end, leaving behind SR 681 and a small bit of VA 354.
Sometime after 1961, VA 201 was given its current routing through McNeal's Corner. Before, VA 201 used today's VA 201Y and SR 600 to inexplicably use two legs of the triangle. The SW leg of the triangle is now VA 201Y and the SE leg is SR 600.

It ran from then-VA 3/201 east to VA 201 at McNeals Corner. VA 3 was removed in the 1940's but maps show VA 201 using two corners of the triangle through at least 1961.

VA 202 #1: Appeared in March 1927 (CTB) as new primary routing, running from VA 20 (now VA 40) Charlotte CH south 4 miles towards Drakes Branch.
CTB minutes in 1928 suggest that VA 202 was renumbered as an extension of original VA 104 before the great renumbering in Aug 1928. Today it is part of VA 47. VA 202 was shown but not labeled on official maps.
VA 202 #2: Appeared in August 1928 as new primary routing, running from VA 12 (Broad and Church) Martinsville north 6.58 miles via duplex with US 311/VA 33 on Church St to Walnut St to Franklin St towards Figgsboro. See scan under VA 203 #1 entry.
In June 1930 (CTB), VA 202 was extended 2.5 miles to the Franklin County line.
In Dec 1930 (CTB), VA 202 was extended north 2 miles.
In July 1932 (CTB), VA 202 was extended north to VA 20 (now VA 40) Penhook.
In July 1933, VA 202 was renumbered as VA 108. Today it is VA 174, SR 714, all of current VA 108 and SR 890.
VA 202Y: Connected VA 3 and VA 202 in the Templeman area. Implied on Officials back to the mid 1930s and was shown in the 1943 VDOT County atlas. The 1932 Westmoreland County map implies a triangle setup so this may actually be a renumbering of VA 607.
In 1999, VA 202Y was renumbered as SR 767 when VA 202 was rebuilt to "split" the triangle.
Ever since the western piece of VA 202 was removed, VA 202Y looked like it was on the wrong leg of the triangle.

In Dec 1930 (CTB), VA 206 was renumbered as VA 205 and a small bit became a Roanoke City street (see this topo map which shows a main road doing this along with current US 221. Today it is still mostly US 221.
VA 206 #2: Created Dec 1930 (CTB) as new primary routing. Ran from US 311/VA 33 (now US 220 Bus/US 221 jct) Roanoke southeast to the Franklin County Line.
In Oct 1932 (CTB), VA 206 was extended with US 311 to VA 207, then west on VA 207 to western Roanoke, then northwest as new routing to Roanoke County line, then replaced VA 225 out to VA 22 (now SR 863) Hanging Rock.
In July 1933, VA 206 was renumbered as VA 116. Today it is still VA 116 in Roanoke except it used 11th St and Gilmer Ave instead of Melrose all the way. VA 206 used today's Cove Rd and VA 419 north of there.

Adjustments: In 1935 or 1936, VA 207 from Chilesburg to Ladysmith was renumbered as VA 229 (now SR 639).
Also in 1935 or 1936, VA 207 was given a second piece from Port Royal southwest 8.34 miles towards Bowling Green, which replaced VA 229 #2.
In Aug 1936 (CTB), piece 2 was extended from Port Royal to VA 3 which may have been partially an upgrade to SR 624 (see VA 205 scan).
In late 1939, a third piece of VA 207 was opened as new construction from VA 206 near Dahlgren to the new Potomac River Bridge location

In Oct 1940 (CTB), pieces 2 and 3 were renumbered as VA 301 (now US 301).
In May 1952 (CTB), VA 207 was rebuilt in the Ruther Glen area to the modern alignment, leaving behind SR 716 (now SR 652 and 716) through Pattersons Corner, Moncure Corner and McDuff (some of this is destroyed by I-95). Also, SR loops 639/713, SR 714 and SR 601/715 at Athens were created by modern 207 construction.
In March 1954 (CTB), VA 207 was rebuilt to bypass Milford and central Bowling Green, moving the VA 207 endpoint to the current US 301 Bus/VA 2/VA 207 Bus jct. This left behind SR 722 through Milford and SR 614 into central Bowling Green.
In 1994, VA 207 was given its southern freeway bypass of Bowling Green, leaving behind VA 207 Bus.

In June 1931 (CTB), VA 207 piece 2 was extended east 3.77 miles, and piece 1 was connected to piece 2.
In July 1932 (CTB), a new VA 207 piece was born, from VA 208 (current US 11A-460/VA 117 jct) east to the Roanoke City Limit. Also, the original part of VA 207 was extended east 4.27 more miles.
In Oct 1932 (CTB), VA 207's two pieces were connected through the City of Roanoke.
See scans under VA 206 entry.
In July 1933, VA 207 was renumbered as part of VA 24. Today it is US 11A-460 on Melrose, 11th St, Gilmer Ave; US 11 to downtown Roanoke; east on Tazewell, south on 13th, east on Dale Ave to Vinton; Sycamore St, 1st St, then Washington St through Vinton; VA 24; SR 886 Drewery's Hill Rd then Oddfellows Rd and Wildcat Rd through Stewartsville; VA 24; Ross Rd; VA 24; Masons Rd through Chamblissburg; VA 24; SR 747 to SR 801, ending at the SR 801-806 jct.

Creation: Appeared May 1950 (CTB) running from US 522 Wares Crossroads east to Snell (upgrade to SRs 613 and 606), then replacing VA 51 through Spotsylvania CH to end at US 1/US 1 ALT Four Mile Fork. This is the 3rd VA 208.
Adjustments: In May 1972 (CTB), VA 208 was extended along US 522 to Mineral, then along VA 22 to Louisa, then south as an upgrade to SR 659 to end at US 250 Ferncliff. The Ferncliff-Louisa segment had previously been a state highway before, the last being VA 27.
In Jan 2005 (Scott Kozel post to mtr), VA 208 was placed on a new bypass to the east of central Louisa, leaving behind SR 630.
In Jan 2008 (Larry Gross post to mtr), VA 208 was placed on a newly constructed road that will eventually fully bypass Spotsylvania CH, Snell and Post Oak. VA 208 continues on Brock Rd (SR 613) west to the new road (just west of SR 608). The old route became VA 208 Business.
The new bypass (Phase 1) actually continues southwest of SR 613/VA 208 over to SR 648 and at the transition between these two roads there is a BEGIN VA 208 shield since at least Nov 2008.
In Dec 2011, VA 208 was placed on a newly constructed bypass of Post Oak, leaving behind SR 606 and SR 793.
In late 2012, VA 208 was (sorta) signed on the rebuilt portion of SR 648 from the "END" of VA 208 south to the original VA 208, although the END/BEGIN shields from 2008 were still up in April 2013, as were all postings on the original 208 via Snell to Spotsylvania CH.
In mid-to-late 2013, VA 208 was fully moved onto the Lake Anna Pkwy over SR 648 back to the original VA 208 routing. The old VA 208 routing via Snell became an extended VA 208 Business.

In July 1933, VA 208 was renumbered as VA 117. Today it is US 11A-460 east of Salem and VA 117 northeast to US 11.
VA 208 #2: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 615. Ran from US 1 south of Thornburg east to VA 2 Villboro.
In May 1945 (CTB), VA 208 was downgraded to SRs 606 and 625.
VA 208Y: Appears explicitly in the 1940 VDOT County Atlas, but not on the 1936 Caroline County map. Formed a triangle at the east end of VA 208 with VA 2. The May 1946 CTB minutes specifically mention this 0.10 mile road because they forgot to decomission it when they axed VA 208 in May 1945. This makes 208Y the only Y route not to have touched its parent. Today it is part of SR 607.
VA 208Y was also shown on the 1942 Topo map of the area.

Creation: Appeared Dec 1990 (CTB) as new routing. Ran from its current western terminus at VA 28, parallel to the exit ramp from VA 267 west to VA 28 north, then parallel with VA 267 to the original Rock Hill Rd/Innovation intersection at the southeast corner of the Virginia Center for Innovative Technology (CIT). This is the 4th VA 209.
Adjustments: Closed in January 2016 for reconstruction on new alignment north of the CIT, with a new eastern terminus at SR 847 which is 0.10 miles past Rock Hill Road (SR 605). The realigned highway was opened in early 2017. Most of the original VA 209 alignment was physically removed.
Improvements: Paved and multilaned upon inception;
The intersection was turned into a right-in/right-out interchange in 2008. This was turned into a full trumpet interchange that opened in 2017.
Posted: Was posted in white rectangles only at VA 28 until the VA 28 partial interchange was built in 2008. Was not posted at all from 2008-2017. Now posted only in white rectangles at SR 605.

Comment: The 2016-17 realignment was necessary to make way for the Innovation Center station on Metrorail's Silver Line. VA 209 was not accessible from VA 28 SB from 2008 to 2017.
The Center for Innovative Technology is an odd shaped building that is visible for miles.

VA 209 #1: Appeared in August 1928 as new primary routing. It began at US 11-VA 33 Cloverdale and ran to Daleville then northwest around through Catawba to the Montgomery County line heading towards Blacksburg. Part of VA 209 replaced 0.35 miles of VA 221 and a duplex with VA 22 (now VA 311).
In June 1930 (CTB) a second piece of VA 209 was born running from VA 23 (now US 460 Bus) Blacksburg east 2.4 miles.
In Dec 1930 (CTB), piece 1 extended west 4.8 miles towards Blacksburg. Piece 2 was extended west along Turner St then Prices Fork Rd 1.46 miles.
In July 1932 (CTB), pieces 1 and 2 were connected, plus extended west to Linkous Store.
Also in July 1932, a new piece was created replacing CR 113 running north from VA 10 (now SR 7xx Bonsack Rd) to the Botetourt County Line
In July 1933, all parts of VA 209 were renumbered as VA 114. Today this is SR 685, VA 412, US 460 Bus, Roanoke St/SR 785, VA 311, SR 779 (except northwest of Tinker Mtn VA 209 went through what is now a large quarry) and US 220. The Bonsack piece is SR 604.

VA 209 #2: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 616. Ran from VA 51 (now VA 208-SR 738 jct) Snell west through Post Oak and Paytes, then curling southwest to end 0.3 miles short of the SR 601/652 junction in Granite Springs.
In April 1944 (CTB), VA 209 west was truncated to SR 609 Paytes leaving behind SR 601.
In May 1948 (CTB), the rest of VA 209 was downgraded to a bit of SR 608 and a long segment of SR 606 (today Post Oak to Snell is part of VA 208).
VA 209 #3: Appeared Nov 1957 (CTB) as a new designation running from VA 205 to the James Monroe Memorial, south of Colonial Beach.
The April 1986 CTB Minutes indicated that VA 209 was barricaded in 1971 by Westmoreland County and VDOT removed the route from maps. This is because the defunct Monroe Birthplace Monument Association, chartered with acquiring and preserving the site, never developed the surrounding land nor erected any type of memorial depicting the historical site which was to have been served by the road. So in 1986, VA 209 was officially decommissioned.
For a number of years, VA 209 was not a road at all. There are historic markers along VA 205 at its location near SR 625. From Google Earth you could still make out VA 209's run to the parking area for the never-built monument. However, about 2009, the road was put back into service as the Monroe Birthplace now has something to visit.

Creation: Created Aug 1964 (CTB Minutes) as an upgrade to SR 1501. Runs as it does now. This is the 4th VA 213.
Adjustments: In June 1971 the CTB rejected a proposal by the Prince William Board of Supervisors to extend VA 213 through the Westgate community (presumably connecting to today's VA 234 Business someplace).
Improvements: Paved upon inception; no multilane segments

In July 1932, the two pieces were connected and extended 10.21 miles to Gillespie. Also, the 1932 Craig and Botetort County maps show VA 215 in place from VA 22 (now VA 311) New Castle northeast to Strom connecting to VA 215's original route.
In July 1933, VA 215 was renumbered as VA 42 from New Castle to Strom and VA 43 from Strom to southeastern Bedford County. Today it is SR 615 from Craig Springs to Eagle Rock and VA 43 elsewhere.

Creation: Appeared by 1949 (VDOT Route Log) as a new designation for roads within the Southwestern State Hospital, which is much older than this. Mileage was available in 1932 but nobody came from the Hospital to claim it. Sometime after Sept 1942 the number 217 was assigned to this facility. This is the 3rd VA 217.
Adjustments: In May 1954 (CTB), 1.35 miles of roads were added to VA 217.
Improvements: Paved upon designation; no multilane segments
Posting: Posted at the southern VA 16 access and also in 3 places internally on the circle road, which does not match the county map as to what is VA 217. A cutout was at VA 16 up to the mid 1990s.

Comment: VA 217 has 3 access points to the facility: VA 16 right at I-81; VA 16 about 1/2 mile north of that; Main St (a couple blocks north of US 11/VA 16 veering away.
VA 217 consists of a circle road with several spokes, not all of which exit the facility.
VA 217 is not shown on the 1958 Smyth County map. It is odd to have assigned 217 to this when numerous 3xx numbers were available.

Adjustments: The gap was closed in VA 218 in Aug 1933 (CTB).
It appears VA 218 was removed from Stafford SR 674 in Jan 1943 (CTB).
It appears VA 218 was removed from SR 1107 in the White Oak area east of SR 607 in Oct 1950 (CTB).
It appears VA 218 was removed from King George SR 651 in March 1953 (CTB).
In May 1967 (CTB), VA 218 was extended along VA 206 to Owens, then replaced SR 624 and SR 618 southeast (with new construction over Machodoc Creek) to end at VA 205.

Around 2003, VA 218 was rerouted over part of VA 212 to avoid a rairoad underpass, then put on a new bridge over the railroad to meet back up with traditional VA 218 east of SR 607. This left behind OSR 218 (not a driveable road).
In June 2004 (CTB), VA 218 was sent to Falmouth, replacing VA 212. The previous road over to VA 3 Business became the current VA 212. Posting of these changes did not occur until Sept. 22, 2004. See scans in VA 212 entry.

Scenic Byway: King George County except west of SR 605; VA 206 duplex; Owens to US 301 (since 3/20/97)
Comment: VA 218 in King George County west of VA 206 is an old-school road...little in the way of improvement in sight lines and curves, especially in the Fairview Beach area.
VA 218 runs through one of the last remaining old-growth forests in the eastern United States, which is accessible at Caledon Natural Area.

Adjustments: About 1990, VA 220 ALT was rerouted near its north end to meet directly with the US 11/VA 220 ALT split at I-81. This left behind a little US 11 plus SR 811 (US 220 used to meet US 11 at SR 811 but the interchange with I-81 moved US 220 northward.

Upon inception, VA 220 ALT was multilaned on its US 460 overlay.
