Creation: SC 101 appeared in 1928 as new primary routing, running from SC 10 (now US 221) Woodruff to US 29 (now SC 290) Greer. This is the only SC 101.
Adjustments: In July 1936 (SCDOT) a separate SC 101 piece was created from the Enoree River southwest through Gray Court to Bellinger Rd just past today's S-30-54 jct.
In Dec 1937 (SCDOT), SC 101 was extended with US 221 through Woodruff, then southwest as new primary to the Enoree River to meet the piece from Gray Court.
By 1940, SC 101 was removed from Old Woodruff Rd S-23-577 in Greer; also put on its current route between today's SC 80 and S-42-12 Brockman McClimon Rd (leaving behind SC 101 ALT which none of this is public road as S-42-12 has totally been changed. The E-W portion of old SC 101 ALT runs over the BMW Fire Dept driveway and the N-S portion uses some of Gateway Dr.); S-42-399 Old Woodruff Rd just north of I-85; Sloan St in Woodruff.
In 1940, SC 101 was shown as projected from S-30-54 southwest to US 76 Princeton.
In 1942, SC 101 north was extended replacing US 29 on Poinsett St from downtown Greer west to the new routing of US 29.
