History
Much of SR 300 follows the route of cancelled Interstate 175, which would have connected the city of Albany to the Interstate system via I-75. The portion of SR 300 that parallels the now-defunct I-175 between Cordele and Albany was formerly known as SR 257, and the portion of SR 300 from Albany to the Florida State Line was SR 333.
The original SR 300 was a route between Monticello and US 129/US 441/SR 24 near Rock Eagle 4-H Center.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
