South Carolina Highway 161 (SC 161) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It connects the cities of Rock Hill, York, and Kings Mountain, North Carolina.
SC 161 is a multi-lane highway, traversing from US 21 and Interstate 77, through the northern part of Rock Hill and north around York, to the back entrance area of Kings Mountain State Park and Kings Mountain National Military Park and North Carolina state line.
The first SC 161 appeared in 1923 as a new primary routing from SC 16, in Eau Claire, to SC 22. It was extended northwest by 1926 to SC 7, in Leeds. In 1928, the entire route was renumbered as part of SC 215.
