History

Established as the second SC 27 around 1931, it traversed from SC 65 (current SC 61), in Givhans, to US 78, east of Ridgeville. In 1940, it was rerouted north from Ridgeville to US 78 and then spur up to the Berkeley County line. In 1941 or 1942, SC 27 was extended north into Berkeley County to SC 31 (current US 176).[2][3]

In 1927, US 78 was assigned on all of SC 27 east of Aiken. In 1928, all of SC 27 was decommissioned, SC 19 replaced the section between Aiken and Trenton.
