Doe Hill south across VA 5 (now US 250 McDowell) to about where it began paralleling the Cowpasture River.
In August 1934 (CTB), VA 269 was extended north 1.8 miles to the West Virginia State Line.
In August 1936 (CTB), the two pieces of VA 269 were connected in Bath County (5.65 mile gap).
In May 1952, VA 269 north was truncated to US 250 leaving behind SR 654.
The rest of VA 269 was downgraded to SR 678 in May 1953.
