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.
