The roadway that would eventually become SR 60 Spur was established in 1930 as SR 86 from Mineral Bluff northeast to the North Carolina state line west-northwest of Ivy Log. In January 1932, the entire length of SR 86 was under construction. The next year, the entire length of SR 86 had a completed semi hard surface. In 1936, the entire length of SR 86 was under construction. The next year, SR 86 had completed grading, but was not surfaced. In late 1940, all of SR 86 was redesignated as SR 60. In 1977, SR 60 from Mineral Bluff to the North Carolina state line was shifted westward. Its former path from Mineral Bluff to the state line was redesignated as SR 60 Spur.
