History

Established as a new primary routing in 1930 or 1931, it originally ran from SC 9 near Richburg to the York County line. In 1933, it was extended north to U.S. Route 21 (US 21). In 1940, it was extended south to its current southern terminus with SC 22 (today's SC 200). Between 1949-50, it was briefly truncated south at SC 97. Between 1974-79, it was extended north to SC 5. In 1992, it was extended again to its current northern terminus with SC 161/ SC 274. In 2010, SC 901 was widened to four lanes from I-77 to SC 121 funded through the "Pennies for Progress" project fund.
