History

Under a previous numbering system, SR 207 was known as State Route 613 from 1929-1933. This SR 613 initially ran only from US 1 at Carmel Church to the Mattaponi River but, in 1930-31, was extended east to the current US 301 Business and SR 2 intersection in Bowling Green. The route was renumbered in 1933 as SR 207, which itself had been a previous designation of part of what is now SR 24 near Roanoke. In addition to the current path of SR 207, the 1933 route included what is now SR 639 in Caroline County from Chilesburg to Ladysmith but this was renumbered as SR 229 by 1937. The route was enlarged by 1937 with the addition of a second section running from a point Script error: No such module "convert". east of Bowling Green through Port Royal to an intersection with SR 3 at Office Hall.
