Route description

State Route 589 runs through northeastern Miami County and southeastern Shelby County along its way. No part of State Route 589 is included as a part of the National Highway System, a system of routes considered to be most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation.^[4]

History

When it debuted in 1937, State Route 589 appeared only along its current northern segment between U.S. Route 36 east of Fletcher and its current northern terminus at what was then designated State Route 54 (now State Route 29).^[1][2] One year later, State Route 589 was extended westerly from its previous southern terminus along U.S. Route 36 to Fletcher, then south to its current southern terminus at State Route 55 in Casstown.^[5]
