History
Most of MN 1 was authorized in 1933,[2] except for a section between U.S. Highway 75 (US 75) and MN 32 at Thief River Falls, which was part of Minnesota Constitutional Route 33 authorized in 1920.[1]
The route was given the MN 1 designation because it was one of the longest trunk highways, and would allow re-use of the MN 1 markers removed from along US 61 and US 65 in 1934.[1]
When it was marked in 1934, it was only paved from US 75 to MN 32 and from MN 169 to Ely.[3]
As recently as 1963, significant portions of MN 1 were unpaved.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
MN 1 still had an unpaved segment in 1996, between US 53 and MN 169 in northern Saint Louis County. At that point it was swapped with paved County Road 22.[1]
