SC 172 #1: Appeared in July 1937 (SCDOT) as new primary routing, running from US 17-701 Whitehall Terrace north across the Wando River using Gregorie Ferry then ending at today's S-8-33 Cainhoy.
In 1939, SC 172 was moved onto the newly opened Wando River bridge to curl around to Cainhoy. The Berkely County side may have remained SC 172 coming from the other direction or been SC 172 ALT but eventually became SC 519 (now S-8-26 Fogarty Ln).
In 1940, SC 172 was renumbered as parts of SC 511 (this is now today's Gregory Ferry Rd; Joe Rouse Rd; undrivable dirt roads; SC 41 across the river). and SC 519 (now S-8-98).
