History
The section of Minnesota Highway 210 between Carlton and Motley was designated and signed in 1973.
Section of Minnesota 210 previously U.S. 210
Minnesota 210 from Carlton to Motley (the eastern portion of the present day highway) was originally part of U.S. Route 210 from 1926 to 1973.
During 1973, U.S. Route 210 was decommissioned from Carlton to Motley and re-designated Minnesota 210 that same year.
U.S. Route 210 was originally commissioned in 1926 by AASHTO, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, as one of the original U.S. Routes.
U.S. 210 and U.S. 208
Originally, U.S. Route 210 from Carlton to Motley was slated to be re-numbered U.S. Route 208 in the 1934 numbering plan. The road was almost re-numbered because of a routing change in its parent road (U.S. Route 10). Ultimately, U.S. Route 10 was routed along former U.S. Route 10N in Minnesota. U.S. Route 208 was shown on some maps in the mid 1930s running from Carlton to Motley in Minnesota, but the number was not officially commissioned or signed, and Highway 210 kept its number.
Route Description History
Highway 210 runs along the original mainline of the Northern Pacific Railway as built westward from Carlton to Staples. Between Henning and Breckenridge, the highway runs along a former branch line of the Northern Pacific Railway. Most of the branch line has since been abandoned.
The western section of the highway, between Breckenridge and Fergus Falls, was originally part of Constitutional Route 3. Between Fergus Falls and Henning, the highway was part of Constitutional Route 36. The section between Carlton and Motley was part of Constitutional Route 2.
