Its continuation in Tennessee, Mulberry Gap Road towards State Route 63 at Mulberry Gap, has never been numbered.

The northern 6.2 miles (9.9 km) of SR 758, north of near present SR 613, were added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 102; [PDFlink| [http://www.virginiadot.org/meetings/minutes_pdf/CTB-08-1928-02.pdf Minutes of the Meeting of the State Highway Commission of Virginia, Held, Richmond, Virginia, August 9th and 10th, 1928] |638 KiB , page 12] the rest was added in 1930. [PDFlink| [http://www.virginiadot.org/meetings/minutes_pdf/CTB-12-1930-02.pdf Minutes of the Meeting of the State Highway Commission of Virginia Held in Lynchburg Virginia, December 18, 1930] |207 KiB , page 4] In the 1933 renumbering it was renumbered State Route 63; it became a secondary route in 1946, as it was "a purely local road that [had] no further possibilities for further development", with an annual average daily traffic volume of about 200 vehicles. [PDFlink| [http://www.virginiadot.org/meetings/minutes_pdf/CTB-05-1946-01.pdf Minutes of the Meeting of the State Highway Commission of Virginia, Held in Roanoke May 2 and Richmond May 3, 1946] |326 KiB , page 5] SR 758 now has a maximum AADT of 460 south of the junction with State Route 661. (SR 661 intersects SR 758 under 1000 feet (300 m) from its north end and takes about two-thirds of the traffic from US 58.)
