History

Highway 741 was originally designated as part of '' Provincial Highway 21'', which connected Leader with Macklin and Lloydminster. In the 1930s, it was renumbered to '' Provincial Highway 32'' while the north-south section was renumbered to '' Provincial Highway 17''. In the 1940s, ''Provincial Highway 32'' west of Leader was decommissioned, along with the section of ''Provincial Highway 17'' south of Macklin. The route remained unnumbered until the municipal numbering system was established in the early 1980s.
