Adjustments: In 1940, SC 213 was extended east as new primary routing to end at US 1 Lugoff.
In 1942, SC 213 was extended with US 21 north around Ridgeway, then west to end at SC 218 (now US 321). The western 2 miles of this extension is shown as proposed location, with no road west of today's S-20-115.

In 1947, SC 213 west was truncated to Ridgeway leaving behind a little US 21 (now US 21-SC 34 CONN) and S-20-30, which was built over to US 321.
About 1948, SC 213 was placed on new alignments that changed its western end to a little further north on US 21 in Ridgeway leaving behind today's S-20-159. New alignments all the way into Kershaw County were in place, leaving behind: anadoned lengthy loop centered around S-20-650; S-20-67 loop; Taylor Ln/Leonard Ln loops into Kershaw County; S-28-55 to S-28-303 south; Sparrow Ln loop.

In 1962, SC 213 was extended south with SC 215 to Jenkinsville, then replaced S-20-16 a mile, then proceeded to Newberry County on newly constructed road, followed S-36-28 to about Peak, then replaced S-36-172 over to US 176.
By 1968 (per Newberry County map...state officials didn't show until 1972), SC 213 was removed from S-36-28 and S-36-172 and sent on new construction to end at US 176 where it ends now.
