History

MS 589 first appeared on maps in 1956, connecting from US 11 to US 49 and MS 590. Only a small section in Lamar County, and between US 98 and Sumrall were paved. ^{[2] [3]} More of the route in Lamar County was paved a year later. ^{[3] [4]} By 1958, a small part of MS 589 north of US 98 was rerouted west, connecting with the route south of US 98. ^{[4] [5]} All of the route south of Sumrall was paved by 1960. ^{[5] [6]} In 1967, MS 589 was extended to I-59, ^{[7] [8]} and the remaining unpaved section was removed from the map, until a year later. ^{[8] [9]}
