SC 171 #1: Appeared in 1930 as new routing running from SC 261 (now S-45-27) Greeleyville east to US 17 (now US 52) using today's S-45-593 Old Greeleyville Rd which used to go all the way past US 52 to S-45-220.
In 1931, SC 171 west was extended west to the relocated SC 261 (now SC 375) in Greeleyville.
In 1934 or 1935, SC 171 was extended east as new primary routing 4 more miles near Salters.
In 1937, SC 171 was east as more new primary routing to end at US 521 Bryans Crossroads.
It appears that in 1940 SC 171 was removed from Old Greeleyville Rd. Varner Ave in Greeleyville became SC 171-Y (now S-45-27).
In 1949, SC 171 was renumbered as part of US 521.
