History
MN 9 was authorized in 1933. At this time, it ran from US 12 in Benson northwest to US 75 at Doran.
The last section of the original MN 9 to be paved was the section between Nashua and Norcross, which was paved in 1952.
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.
This extended segment of the highway was completely paved in 1959; the last section completed was between Barnesville and US 10.
In 1961, MN 9 was extended again, replacing MN 17 from Benson to New London.
