South Carolina Highway 177 (SC 177) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It connects the community of Wallace with Hamlet, North Carolina.

Route description

SC 177 is a two-lane rural highway that traverses 7.8 miles (12.6 km) from Wallace at SC 9 to the North Carolina state line.[2]

History

The highway was established in 1960 as a renumbering of SC 77, little has changed since.[3][4]

Two predecessors existed before the current SC 177 came to existence. The first appeared from 1930-1936 as a new primary routing from U.S. Route 176 (US 176)/SC 10 in Spartanburg to the North Carolina state line; it eventually became part of SC 9. The second appeared from 1938-1951 as a new primary routing from US 176 southeast of Pomaria to US 76/SC 2 near Ballentine. It was adjusted twice, in 1948 extending and replacing SC 664, and in 1950 shifting to meet with US 176/SC 121 split. It was eventually renumbered as an extension of US 176.[5]
