the roadway that would eventually become us 27 bus./sr 1 bus. was established at least as early as 1919 as part of sr 1. by the end of 1934, us 27 was designated on the entire length of sr 1. in the first half of 1936, a portion of us 27/sr 1 in the southern half of the city had a "completed hard surface". between september 1938 and july 1939, the portion in the northern part of the city also had a completed hard surface. in 1987, an eastern bypass of cedartown, designated as sr 744, was proposed from south-southwest of the city to north-northeast of it. in 1991, us 27/sr 1 in the cedartown area was shifted eastward, onto the path of sr 744, with us 278/sr 6, which was also shifted out of the main part of the city. the former path of us 27/sr 1 was redesignated as us 27 bus./sr 1 bus.
