 Creation: SC 260 appeared in 1939 as new primary routing, running as it does today. This is the only SC 260.
Adjustments: In 1940, SC 260 was extended north with US 301, then northwest as new primary routing to end at US 15 south of Sumter.
Also in 1940, a second piece of SC 260 was born in Berkeley County running from SC 311 near Cross north to SC 45 (now S-8-31) Eadytown.
In 1942, the southern piece of SC 260 was extended north 2 miles to the Wilson anding area near the south end of Santee Dam. Eadytown south to SC 311 became parts of SC 45 and SC 6. Today this is SC 6; S-8-132; abandoned routing over the canal; SC 45; Timberline Way; S-8-23.
In 1947, SC 260 was reduced to its current routing. Manning to US 15 became S-14-23 and S-43-25, while the Berkeley County piece became S-8-31.

Improvements: SC 260 was paved from Manning south to the dam in 1941.
SC 260 has no mulitlane segments.
Comment: SC 260 provides direct access to the Santee Dam.
Rand McNally atlases for years have shown a road exists between Clarendon and Berkeley Counties just east of SC 260. As far as I can tell this has never been the actual case, even before Lake Moultrie came along.
