VA 275 #1: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 834 running from US 50 Gore southwest on current SR 610 to the West Virginia line where the route continued as WV 23.
In Feb 1938 (CTB), VA 275 was moved to today's VA 259 corridor as an upgrade to SR 703. The old routing is now SR 610. In September 1940, VA 275 was renumbered as the northern piece of VA 259 which it remains today.
VA 275 #2: Appeared in August 1941 (CTB Minutes) as an upgrade to SR 688 in Loudon County. Ran from VA 9 near Mechanicsville north to "proposed new Route 340" at the Virginia-West Virginia Line. About 1950, VA 275's northern end was switched to meet the new US 340 at the Virginia-Maryland Line. This replaced VA 275Y. The original north end no longer connects to US 340 but it looks like SR 825 was a part of this. In May 1954, VA 275 was downgraded to SR 671 which used to meet US 340 just east of Piney Run instead of just west as it does now. This remains an excellent route to use as a back door route from US 340 to Loudoun County destinations.
VA 275 #3 Appeared in 1968 as new construction, running from US 11 near Verona east to VA 254 Annex. CTB references prior to the opening of the road called this VA 254 ALT. VA 275 was extended west to US 250 about 1989. On June 20, 2006 the CTB renumbered VA 275 as part of VA 262 which forms the other half of the Staunton Bypass, which fully opened on August 10, 2006. Kevin MacNutt reports that "OLD VA 275" shields were installed along with the new VA 262 shields, and these were still up in late 2007 but removed in 2008.
