History

State Highway 30 was authorized in 1933.

The section of Highway 30 between the South Dakota state line to State Highway 4 near St. James was originally designated as old State Highway 47 from 1934 to 1963. This section was renumbered 30 in 1963.

In 1940, only the western segment of Highway 30 was paved. In the 1950s, the central portions of Highway 30 were still gravel. Highway 30 was paved in its entirety by 1963.

Future

There are plans to reroute the highway into the City of Rochester, as seen in the Rochester International Airport Area Plan [3]
