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On May 20, 2011, the law establishing MN 332 was repealed.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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
