The route at MS 469's terminus, MS 20, was renumbered to MS 28 in January 1960 to avoid numbering conflicts with Interstate 20. The road opened as part of MS 469, in a ribbon ceremony in Harrisville on November 29, 1956. By 1956, a new road was constructed from US 49 to MS 20, and the section from Harrisville to the Simpson–Rankin county line was paved in 1955. The MS 469 designation began its use starting that year. History Ī road from US 49 to Whitfield was constructed around 1953, with half of it already paved with asphalt. The road ends at a three-way junction at MS 468, southeast of the Mississippi State Hospital and the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility. The route reemerges out of a forested area, near the community of Whitfield. The road continues northeastward past that point, crossing Richland Creek after another intersection with Monterey Road. The corporate limit of the town follows the edges of the road until the intersection of MS 469 and Monterey Road in the community of Monterey. MS 469 then turns east past Eastwood Drive, curving around an unincorporated area, before turning north at the eastern end of Williams Road. The route continues through suburban parts of the town, with Florence High School located at Williams Road. Past US 49, the road is known as East Main Street, and it crosses Indian Creek near Briarhill Road. The route turns east at West Main Street near the center of Florence and intersects US 49 after crossing the Illinois Central Railroad. MS 469, known as South Church Street inside the town, intersects multiple driveways and an entrance to a park. Proceeding through a mix of farmland and forests, the road crosses Mountain Creek south of McGee Lane and enters the town of Florence at Old US 49. Inside Rankin County, the route turns north at South County Line Road, and crosses Hominy Creek near Mountain Creek Road. The route enters Rankin County, with its last intersection in Simpson County again at Twin Lakes Road. The road travels north at Twin Lakes Road, then northeastward at Country Estates Road. At Mulligan Road, MS 469 begins to travel northwestward and crosses Limestone Creek after intersecting Bridge Road. The route parallels Big Creek until it reaches Harrisville, where it turns west at the western terminus of MS 540, also known as Harrisville Road. The road turns east briefly at Sells Walker Road, and it continues northward at Bear Cat Road. The route starts at MS 28 at a three-way junction east of Georgetown, and travels north through a forested area. The route is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3, and all of it is maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), as part of the Mississippi State Highway System. MS 469 is located in Simpson and Rankin counties. Data was measured in 2016 in terms of AADT. ![]()
