History
MS 450 first appeared on the maps in 1956, as a gravel road connecting from MS 1 to US 61.[7][8] During the years 1958–1960, the western half of the route was rerouted northward.[9][10][11] Soon, MS 450 ran through Stringtown and ended at Scott by 1962. More than half of the road was paved by then.[11][12] Two years later, the route was fully paved and rerouted back south of Scott, with a new spur route connecting to Stringtown.[13][14] By 1967, MS 450 connected from Stringtown to south of Scott instead, with the spur route being removed.[15][16] The path near Stringtown became straightened out by 1974, going in a north–south direction. Also in the same year, US 61 was rerouted east of Choctaw, causing MS 450 to be extended east of the town.[17][18] By 1999, US 278 became concurrent with US 61 through MS 450's eastern terminus.[19][20] MS 450 has not changed significantly since 1999.[2][20]
