with US 27/ SR 1 east-southeast of Attapulgus. It travels to the west-southwest and curves to the northwest. At the city limits of Attapulgus, it curves to a due-west direction. It travels just south of Lillian E. Williams Elementary School and then intersects the northern terminus of SR 241 (South Main Street). It curves to a nearly due-north direction before leaving the city. It travels through rural areas of the county before a curve to the northeast. It meets its northern terminus, a second intersection with US 27/SR 1 (Tallahassee Highway), which is also the southern terminus of Hodges–Riley Road. The entire length of US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense. The roadway that would eventually become US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 1. In the first half of 1936, this segment had a "completed hard surface". Between the beginning of 1953 and the 1960, SR 1 was routed on a more direct path between Amsterdam and Attapulgus, with a "soil surface". In 1989, an eastern bypass of Attapulgus, designated as SR 831, was proposed from east-southeast of the city to north-northwest of it. In 1995, US 27/SR 1 was shifted onto this bypass. Its former path was redesignated as SR 1 Bus. Between the beginning of 1996 and the beginning of 2011, US 27 Bus. was designated on the path of SR 1 Bus.

. After this crossing, the local name changes to Dothan Road. At Newton Road, they begin a brief concurrency with SR 253; at Spring Creek Road, SR 253 splits off. They then reach their northern terminus, another interchange with the US 27/US 84/SR 1/SR 38 bypass. Here, US 84/SR 38 takes on the Dothan Road name; US 27/SR 1 uses the Colquitt Highway name. The roadway that would eventually become US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 1. By the end of 1934, US 27 was designated on SR 1 in the area. By the end of 1939, this segment of US 27/SR 1 had a "completed hard surface". Between the beginning of 1960 and the beginning of 1965, US 27 (and possibly SR 1) in the Bainbridge area was shifted onto the bypass, at the time designated as SR 38 Loop. The former path of US 27 was redesignated US 27 Bus. By the beginning of 1977, SR 1 Bus. was indicated to be designated on US 27 Bus. in the city. In 1976, SR 38 Loop was decommissioned, with the SR 38 mainline designated on its former path. The former path of SR 38 was redesignated as SR 38 Bus.

SR 1 Loop curves to the southwest and crosses over more railroad tracks of Norfolk Southern Railway before reaching its northern terminus, a second intersection with SR 20. Here, the roadway continues as Coosawattee Avenue. The entire current length of SR 1 Loop (and the entire length of the unbuilt portion in between the two sections) is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense. In 1985, SR 53 Spur was built from US 27/SR 1 just south of Mount Berry to SR 53 northeast of Rome; it was proposed to be extended west-northwest and south-southwest to SR 20 west-northwest of Rome. SR 746 was proposed from US 411/SR 20 southeast of Rome north-northeast and northwest to tie into the path of SR 53 Spur at an intersection with SR 53. The next year, the portion west of US 27/SR 1 was cancelled. In 1990, SR 746 was built from US 411/SR 20 to SR 293 east-northeast of Rome. In 1992, all of SR 53 Spur and SR 746's completed section were redesignated as SR 1 Loop, with the segment between SR 293 and SR 53 between them completed, as well. The next year, SR 1 Loop was completed from SR 20 west-northwest of Rome to US 27/SR 1 in Mount Berry.

with US 27/ SR 1 in the southeastern part of the city. They travel to the west-northwest and curve to the northwest. The business routes cross over Town Creek and curve to the north-northeast. They begin a concurrency with SR 193 (West Main Street). Just over later, SR 193 splits off onto East Villanow Street. This intersection is southwest of LaFayette Cemetery. They pass the Joe Stock Memorial Park and travel west of LaFayette Middle School before reaching their northern terminus, an intersection with US 27/SR 1/ SR 136 (Lyle Jones Parkway/North Main Street) in the northern part of the city. The entire length of US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense. The roadway that would eventually become US 27 Bus./SR 1 Bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of SR 1 in the LaFayette area. Between October 1929 and June 1930, a portion in the southern part of LaFayette had a "completed hard surface". By the end of 1930, US 41W was designated on SR 1 from Rome to LaFayette. By the beginning of 1932, a portion of US 41W/SR 1 in the northern part of the city had a completed hard surface. By the end of 1934, US 41W was decommissioned, and US 27 was designated on the entire length of SR 1. Nearly 50 years later, an eastern
