History

edit

MN 9 was authorized in 1933. At this time, it ran from US 12 in Benson northwest to US 75 at Doran.[3][4] The last section of the original MN 9 to be paved was the section between Nashua and Norcross, which was paved in 1952.[5][6] In the mid-1950s, when US 75 between Ada and Crookston was rerouted to another roadway, the MN 9 designation was extended along the former MN 82 from Breckenridge to Ada and along the former route of US 75 to its current northern terminus.[7][8] This extended segment of the highway was completely paved in 1959; the last section completed was between Barnesville and US 10.[9][10] In 1961, MN 9 was extended again, replacing MN 17 from Benson to New London.[11][12]
