History

Most of State Highway 27 was authorized in 1933.

The original route of Highway 27 between State Highway 65 and State Highway 47 was over what is now State Highway 18; original designation of the current Highway 27 between these routes was previously old State Highway 66 until 1963.

Easternmost section of Highway 27 was previously old U.S. 61 through Moose Lake.

The section of Highway 27 southwest of Mille Lacs Lake was still gravel in 1940. The segments east of Isle were gravel into the 1950s, and the last segment east of State Highway 65 was not paved until the 1970s.

In 2012, Highway 27 from Osakis to Alexandria was relocated along Interstate 94 with the old route decommissioned and turned over to Douglas County.[3]
