Today it is VA 87.

Forms a triangle between VA 201 and SR 600 in Lancaster County. This is likely left over from the days (before 1944) when SR 600 was part of VA 3. The earliest explicit labeling I have is the 1961 Lancaster County Map. I did not see any sort of posting when I drove by in 1997.

This is the 3rd VA 206. Adjustment: None Posting: Fully posted Comment: Serves as a short cut from Fredericksburg to the 301 bridge to Maryland. VDOT recently removed all 55 MPH speed limits from VA 206.
Previous VA 206's:		VA 206 #1: The 1929 Official Map shows VA 206 as a short stub southwest off US 11 just west of Roanoke. The 1931 Official Map shows no road there, unless it is part of a rerouted VA 205 (curr US 221). VA 206 #2: Appeared in 1930-31 as a newly numbered route. Ran from US 311 (curr US 220 Bus) Roanoke southeast to Franklin County Line. In 1932, VA 206 was extended through Roanoke to meet VA 22 (curr VA 311) north of Salem.

Ran from VA 51 (curr SR 738) Chilesburg to US 1 Ladysmith (replaced VA 614) and from US 1 Carmel Church to VA 2 Bowling Green (replaced VA 613). It is unclear if there was a multiplex with US 1. This is the 2nd VA 207. Adjustment: By 1937, a second piece to VA 207 appeared, running from a point 2 miles east of Bowling Green to Port Royal, just past US 17. From US 17 eastward was a replacement for VA 229. Also by 1937, the Chilesburg to Ladysmith piece was renumbered to VA 229 (today this is SR 639). In 1938 this was extended east to VA 3. This second piece became part of US 301 in 1941. Posting: Fully posted Comment: One of 2 Virginia State Routes (see VA 104) to have mileposts. Serves as a main route from I-95 to US 301 to get to Southern Maryland. The VDOT route log says VA 207 Business follows US 301 South to the Bypass from Bowling Green, but it is NOT posted this way at all in the field.
Previous VA 207's:		VA 207 #1: Appeared in 1929 as a newly numbered route. Ran from US 311-VA 205 (curr US 220 Bus-US 221) Roanoke to Stewartsville. In 1932 VA 207 was extended east to Chamblissburg. This was renumbered VA 24 in July 1933.

Adjustment: None Posting: Only a white rectangle at VA 28. Comment: The building VA 209 serves is an oddly shaped monster that is visible for miles around the Dulles Corridor. VA 209 is the lowest number assigned specifically to a Virginia State facility (although an argument might be made VA 133 qualifies)
Previous VA 209's:		VA 209 #1: Appeared in 1929 as a newly numbered route. Ran from US 11 Cloverdale west past Catawba to the Roanoke-Montgomery County Line. In 1930-31, VA 209 was extended west to VA 23 (curr US 460 Bus) Blacksburg with a small gap 4 miles east of Blacksburg. This was all renumbered as VA 114 in July 1933. Today it is SR 779 and SR 785.

Adjustment: VA 210 was extended east to the US 29 Madison Heights Bypass in early 2005 over new alignment. The old stub leading to VA 334 is currently labeled as "VA 210" in the field as of 5/8/05. I am curious if this is now VA 210Y. Perhaps the July 2005 Route Log will tell me when it comes out. Posting: Fully posted Comment: The interchange with current US 29 Bypass has been modernized.
Previous VA 210's:		VA 210 #1: Appeared in 1929 as a new route. Ran from US 11 Radford to VA 205 (curr US 221) Willis.

Adjustment: None Posting: Fully posted. Cutouts at VA 42 have been removed, I believe. Erroneous US 211 signs abound, including VA 42 NB, I-81 (has US 211 and VA 211 going wrong directions), and at intersections in between. Comment: A state hwy extension of US 211.
Previous VA 211's:		VA 211 #1: Appeared in 1923. Ran from VA 21 (curr US 15-29) New Baltimore to VA 21 (curr US 29) Centreville, via Manassas. In 1922 this had been part of VA 21, plus east of Manassas it was also part of VA 25. Between 1924-27, VA 211 was renumbered as the far northern segment of the original VA 28. Today it is all of VA 215, and some of VA 28. VA 211 #2: Appeared in 1929 as a newly numbered route. Ran from VA 23 (curr VA 8) Riner to VA 210 (curr SR 787) near Radford.

Adjustment: None Posting: Fully posted this way starting Sept. 22, 2004 Comment: This alteration of the VA 212-218 set-up makes sense in terms of trying to get Dahlgren traffic to I-95 on one number...
Previous VA 212's:		VA 212 #1: Appeared in 1923. Ran from VA 21 (US 211 Bus) Luray to VA 17 (curr US 33 Bus) Elkton. Stanley to Luray was a piece of the original VA 16 prior to this. VA 212 was renumbered as VA 251 in 1928. Today it is US 340 and US 340 Bus VA 212 #2: Appeared in 1929 as a newly numbered route. Ran from VA 205 (curr US 221) Hillsville to US 11 (curr VA 99) Pulaski via Draper, with a a break between Betty and the Pulaski County Line. In 1930-31 VA 212 became a continuous route. In 1932, US 11 and VA 212 switched alignments at Draper, with VA 212 following what is now VA 99 to Pulaski, and US 11 routed the way it is now. VA 212 was renumbered as VA 99 and VA 100 in July 1933. The part from Draper to Sylvatus is now SR's 658-653-693. VA 212 #3: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 618. Ran from US 1 Stafford C.H. to Brooke. Early maps suggest a second stub from VA 218 white Oak along current SR 607 but this is uncertain. VA 212 was downgraded to SR 687 between 1948-50. Today it is SR 630 and SR 629. VA 212 #4: Appeared as new construction in 1977. Ran from US 58-221 (curr VA 94) near Galax southwest to SR 638. In 1978, this was extended further west to meet back up with US 58-221 (curr VA 274). In 1980 this VA 212 was renumbered as US 58-221. VA 212 #5: Appeared in 1986 as an upgrade to SR 664. Ran from US 1, US 17 Bus Falmouth east to VA 218 White Oak. In December 2002, VA 212 east was shortened 0.3 miles as VA 218 was reconfigured over part of VA 212. This VA 212 met its end in June 2004 when VA 218 was rerouted over its entirety, although is was posted as VA 212 until 9/22/04.	VA 212 in 1941.

ROUTE LOG VA 28: 0 - 0 PW-MPK LINE: 1.9 - 1.9		Creation: Appeared in 1975, the same year Manassas Park became an independent city. Ran as it does today. This is the 4th VA 213. Adjustment: None Posting: No postings at all (confirmed Dec. 2002). There was a sign on VA 28 SB until recent construction removed it. They did not replace the sign Comment: This is a completely residential street, with not much purpose as a state hwy.
Previous VA 213's:		VA 213 #1: Appears on the 1928 VDOT map, running from VA 32 (curr US 15-29 Bus) Culpeper north to Rixeyville. It must have been envisioned to connect to VA 21 near Amissville, but 1929 came along and 213 was renumbered as part of VA 28. Today it is part of VA 229. VA 213 #2: Appeared in 1929 as a renumbering of original VA 109. Ran from US 11 Dublin to VA 23 (curr US 460 Bus) Pearisburg. In 1930-31, VA 213 was extended south to US 11 (curr VA 99 McAdam). In 1932, VA 213 was extended south again to where I-81, US 11, and VA 100 meet. This was a renumbering of part of US 11. VA 213 was renumbered as part of VA 100 in July 1933.

Adjustments: Okay, VA 216 was slightly longer until US 17 was rebuilt east of its original alignment. This shaved 0.2 miles (10% of its length) off VA 216. Posting: Fully posted Comment: I drove this in 1993 and don't recall a thing about it.
Previous VA 216's:		VA 216 #1: Appeared in 1929 as a replacement for the original VA 231. Ran from VA 23 (curr US 460) Rich Creek northeast to then-WV 24. This was renumbered as VA 124 in July 1933. Today it is US 219.

Serves 2.2 miles worth of roads inside Southwestern State Hospital in Marion (Smyth County). It is posted at VA 16 near the I-81 interchange. The hospital has been there for a very long time, but I cannot say for certain how long VA 217 has been attached to it. When I drove by in 1993, it was posted with a 70's looking cutout. At any rate, it can't be older than 1941, and it is the 3rd VA 217. VA 217 also touches US 11-VA 16 within Marion, but I did not see VA 217 signs there.
Previous VA 217's:		VA 217 #1: Appeared in 1929 as a renumbering of VA 221. Ran from VA 209 (curr SR 779) to the Catawba Hospital. This was renumbered as VA 123 in July 1933. Today it is VA 320.

Ran from VA 3 to VA 206 near Owens. This is the 2nd VA 218. Adjustments: VA 218 was extended east to VA 205 between 1968-70. In June 2004, VA 218 was rerouted (CTB minutes) to end in Falmouth instead of VA 3 Bus at Fredericksburg, replacing all of VA 212 #5. The piece between 212 and 3 Bus became VA 212 #6. Posting: Fully posted; switch with VA 212 on the western end wasn't posted as such until 9/22/04. Comment: VA 218 between SR 600 and VA 206 is quite a fun drive with major sharp curves and blind steep drops.

ROUTE LOG VA 198: 0 - 0 SR 633: 2 - 2		Creation: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 629. Ran from VA 198 only to Cricket Hill (other side of water from Gwynn Island). This is the 2nd VA 223. Adjustments: VA 223 was extended onto the island at some point (VDOT maps are vague about this). Maps through 1944 are clear it is not on the island (although a bridge existed in the early 40's), and it was on the island when I drove there in 1992. Posting: Fully posted. Comment: I drove it in 1992 and have no recollection of anything exciting.
Previous VA 223's:		VA 223 #1: Appeared in 1930-31 as a newly numbered route. Ran from US 311 (curr US 220) Boone Mill southwest 5 miles. This was renumbered as a second piece of VA 219 in 1932. Today it is SR 739.

From: US 58-421 Weber City (Scott County) To: Tennessee State Line (Scott County) near Bloomingdale, TN (continues as TN 93 to US 11E-321 Geenville, TN) Total Length: 3.35 miles
ROUTE LOG US 58, US 421: 0 - 0 TN STATE LINE: 3.35 - 3.35		Creation: Appeared in 1992 as an upgrade to SR 701. Ran as it does today. This is the 4th VA 224. Adjustments: None Posting: Assumed to be fully posted Comment: Never seen this one. Another VA-TN route conflict, although VDOT could not make this VA 93 without fouling up the current VA-NC 93 setup.
Previous VA 224's:		VA 224 #1: Appeared in 1932 as a newly numbered route. Ran from VA 23 (curr US 460) near Newport to Moutnain Lake. This was renumbered as VA 112 in July 1933. Today it is SR 700. VA 224 #2: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of VA 630. Ran from VA 14 Foster down to Mobjack. This was downgraded to SR 660 in 1952. VA 224 #3: Appeared in 1980 as a newly constructed freeway. Ran from US 29 to US 460 (curr US 460-US 501 Byp NB jct) in Lynchburg. In 1984 VA 224 was extended south to SR 678. VA 224 was rechristened as part of US 460 in 1989.

From: I-264 City of Virginia Beach To: US 60 Little Creek (City of Virginia Beach) Total Length: 5 miles
ROUTE LOG I-264 (exit 17): 0 - 0 US 58: 0.5 - 0.5 VA 190: 1 - 1.5 US 13: 3 - 4.5 US 60: 0.5 - 5		Creation: Appeared as a new alignment in 1967. Ran from US 58 to US 60. This is the 3rd VA 225. Adjustments: VA 225 was extended south to VA 44 (curr I-264) between 1968-70. Posting: Fully posted as late as the early 90's, except was not identified from VA 44. I do not know if I-264 designation changed this. White bordered sign existed at VA 190, but may be gone now. I think there is a circle 225 on US 60 EB. A. Froehlig reports VA 225 is still posted at US 58 and US 60, with a US 225 shield on US 60 EB and also a circle. Only 3 reassurance shields remain anywhere on VA 225. Comment: Independence Blvd. This route is all suburban today.
Previous VA 225's:		VA 225 #1: Appeared in December 1932 as a new state route, running from VA 10 (curr US 221-460) Roanoke up towards Hollins along Tinkers Creek (CTB minutes). In July 1933, this became VA 115. Today this may also include some of SR 601. This is the highest VA 2xx route in the 1929-33 system I could find. VA 225 #2: Appeared as a new route in July 1933. Ran from VA 198 Cobbs Creek to VA 33 Hartfield. This included a ferry over the Piankitank River until the mid 40's. This VA 225 was renumbered as part of VA 3 in 1957.
