VA 400 #1: Appeared in Aug 1928 as a renumbering of part of VA 201, running from US 15/VA 32/VA 44 near Clarksville east to VA 12 (now VA 92) Boydton. US 401 was also assigned to the entirety of VA 400. Thus, it was a secret route.
In 1932, US 401 was renumbered to US 58.
In July 1933, VA 400 was dropped from the route for just US 58. Today, it is still US 58 except it used SR 783 through Finchley; SR 756 into Boydton; one block of SR 707
VA 400 did not appear on officials but is on the 1932 Mecklenburg County Map. At least one commercial map showed it...
