History

The present day Highway 93 was authorized in 1963. Previously, this route was known as State Highway 259 from 1949 to 1963.[2]

From 1933 to 1963, the route number "Minnesota 93" was used on a different state route between Redwood Falls and Sleepy Eye. That route was replaced by extensions of present-day State Highways 67 and 68.[2]

The present day Highway 93 between Le Sueur and Henderson was paved by 1953.[2]
