History
U.S. 77 previously extended north through South Dakota to Ortonville, Minnesota. It followed the current Interstate 29 corridor up to the Toronto, South Dakota area, and then followed current South Dakota Highway 15 north to Milbank, South Dakota. After reaching Milbank, it went east in a concurrency with U.S. Route 12 to Ortonville, where it ended at U.S. Route 75. Portions of the old highway in the Sioux Falls area exist today as South Dakota Highway 115.
