HISTORY

When designated in the 1920's, South Dakota 22 ran west to east across the entire width of the state, on what is currently U.S. Highway 212 . When U.S. 212 was assigned in 1927, SD 22 was moved south onto a new alignment, beginning at South Dakota Highway 45 near Howell , and ending at what was then South Dakota Highway 41 (current U.S. Highway 281 ) south of Redfield . This route was truncated in the mid 1930's to the current alignment, although there was a north-south segment between Hazel and U.S. Highway 212. This portion of the segment was decommissioned in 1992.
