It ran concurrently with the portion of what was then Virginia State Route 21 from New Market to Fairfax. In 1928, US 211 was extended eastward to Washington, D.C., along the remainder of VA 21, replacing what had been US 50. (US 50 was relocated to the south along the route of what is now VA 236 from Fairfax to Alexandria.) In 1934, US 29 was added to the route of US 211 from Warrenton to Washington, D.C. In July 1980, the US 29/US 211 concurrency was eliminated. The eastern terminus of US 211 was truncated from Washington, D.C., to its current end in Warrenton, leaving US 29 on that route.
