History
Since 1928, US 90 was routed through Santa Rosa, and concurrent with US 11 before crossing into Louisiana.[6] In 1936, a new, paved road was built from US 90 to south of Slidell, bypassing the town.[7][8] Three years later, US 90 was realigned south on this new road. This caused the southern terminus to be US 90, and the northern terminus at an unsigned highway,[9][10] which would become MS 11-90 a year later.[10][11] In 1948, the route was renumbered to MS 43,[12][13] and by 1950, the former alignment of US 90 bypassed in 1936 became signed as MS 604.[13][14] In 1967, MS 43 was rerouted to its east, and the old alignment became MS 607.[15][16]

The entire route is in Hancock County.
