History
The current SC 216 was established between 1960 and 1964 as a new primary route.
The first SC 216 existed from 1939 to 1948, starting off as a 1-mile (1.6 km) spur of US 21 in Sheldon. In 1940 it was extended to a loop; but after one year, half of the loop was downgraded as secondary road. By 1948, the route was decommissioned.
