This has changed in recent years and today the SR 210 designation is noted on signs along with the US Routes that share its circumference of Dothan.

SR 210 forms a beltway around Dothan and is used by local traffic and motorists bound for other regions.

The highway's mile markers are posted clockwise along the route and begins at the intersection with US 231/South Oates Street on the south side of the city.

The road was constructed in the late 1950s and was made possible by former Alabama governor "Big Jim" Folsom who authorized the state expenditures.

He directed that the road be named for Ross Clark, Folsom's brother-in-law, who had committed suicide in 1955.
