Creation: Appeared in 1938 as a renumbering of part of SC 38, running from US 15 (now Main St) Bennettsville north to the North Carolina Line. This is the 2nd SC 79.
| Adjustments: In 1970, SC 79 was rerouted to its current routing, replacing SC 383 west to SC 9. The route south to Bennettsville became SC 385. Improvements: Fully paved and multilaned upon designation. Comment: SC 80 serves as a bypass of Greer connecting US 29 to I-85 near the GSP Airport. According to the Greenville News, SC 80 was first proposed by the City of Greer in 1999 to be numbered as part of SC 357. Evidently this did not get approved by SCDOT. Although open since 2002, the 2005 Official Map is the first to show SC 80. All issues since 2005 either show SC 80 running to the wrong location or following SC 14 south to I-85. The 2005 Spartanburg County map shows the portion between SC 290 and US 29 as S-42-220 so SC 80 may have briefly only run SC 101 to SC 290 first.
