History
MN 332 was authorized on April 9, 1974. The highway designation replaced County State-Aid Highway 102 (CSAH 102) between US 71 and US 53 and CSAH 114 north to MN 11.
Since February 2002, a dispute has been ongoing between the city of International Falls and Koochiching County over relocation of the northern portion of MN 332. Koochiching County has supported a turnback offered by Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) that will give the county jurisdiction over a portion of MN 332; essentially all of MN 332 east of US 53. Most of the dispute involves a 1989 agreement that could have provided the city with money and jurisdiction over the Burner Road portion of MN 332. If the dispute is resolved, MN 332, east of US 53, is proposed to become County Road 155. In May 2010, the Koochiching County Board accepted an agreement that would turn control of the road east of US 53 to the county in exchange for $3.5 million.
On May 20, 2011, the law establishing MN 332 was repealed. The repeal will be effective when Mn/DOT certifies that the unspecified conditions to transfer the route have been satisfied.

—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
