Creation: SC 284 appeared in 1940 as new primary routing, running from SC 71 near Lowdnesville northeast through Antreville to end at SC 201 just inside Anderson County. This is the 2nd SC 284.
Adjustments: In 1942, SC 284 replaced SC 201 north to SC 185 then continued north as new primary routing to end at US 76-178 and SC 20 Belton.
In 1947, SC 284 south was truncated to SC 28 Antreville, leaving behind some SC 28 overlay plus S-1-27.
In 1950, SC 284 was re-extended south back to SC 71.
In 1956, SC 284 north was truncated to its current end at SC 20-252. The road to Belton became part of SC 20.
SC 284 was extended south to SC 81 as an upgrade to S-1-64. State officials say this starting with 1993 or 1994; my late 1980s county map atlas shows it. When I used to drive SC 81 occasionally in the late 80s it was posted with a 70s square shield.
