Creation: SC 63 appeared about 1924 as new primary routing, running from SC 1 (now US 278) Varnville east to SC 6 (now SC 64 Bus) Walterboro. This is the only SC 63.
| Adjustments: In 1929, SC 63 was extended west with SC 28 to Hampton, then extended due south as new primary routing to end at SC 33 (now US 321) south of Pineland. In Feb 1938 (SCDOT), SC 63 was removed from today's S-15-19 east of Islandton, leaving behind SC 63 ALT. In 1940, SC 63 was truncated to SC 28 Varnville, leaving behind SC 28 (now US 278) and SC 36 (now US 601).
In 1951, SC 63 was extended east replacing US 17 to end at the new US 17 route in Jacksonboro. In 1953, SC 63 east was truncated back to Walterboro, with the route to Jacksonboro becoming SC 64.
Improvements: In 1930, SC 63 was paved from Varnville to Hampton. In 1937, SC 63 was paved from Hampton to Furman In 1939, SC 63 was paved from Varnville to Walterboro. SC 63 was 4-laned from I-95 to where it leaves US 17 ALT in downtown Walterboro in 1979. Comment: SC 63 serves as the main way to get from I-95 NB to Walterboro. Otherwise, SC 63 is a sleepy ride through some empty spaces. |
