History
editThis section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2018) |
The original SD 17 was established in 1926, from west of Milbank to Peever. This became part of SD 15 by 1929 when it extended north.[3] The current SD 17 was established by 1929. It originally began at an intersection with what is now SD 46 near Centerville. This segment was decommissioned in the 1990s.
In 2018, the South Dakota State Legislature removed the portion of SD 17 that ran from its current northern terminus up to SD 42 from the state highway system and turned it over to local control.[2]
