Creation: Appeared about 1929 as a renumbering of part of US 1 and possibly another unknown SC route, running from SC 39 Monetta east to US 1 Leesville. This is the 2nd SC 23.
Adjustments: In 1935, SC 23 was extended west through Ward, Johnston, and Edgefield replacing SC 39 to end at SC 20 (now US 221/SC 28) Modoc.

Improvements: SC 23's initial routing was paved upon inception. The extension west was paved to Edgefield upon designation.
The remainder of SC 23 was paved in 1939.
SC 23 has no multilane sections.
Comment: SC 23 runs parallel to US 1 at a close distance for a few miles, sort of a more business district routing through Batesburg-Leesville.
There is a posted SC 23 TRUCK around Edgefield using S-19-10 and SC 430.

In 1928, SC 23 was dropped from the route in favor of US 217. Today this is US 301 although SC 23 may have used S-17-25 south of Dillon. SC 23 used S-17-630 at South of the Border to enter North Carolina.
