History
The gravel road that became MS 47 has existed at least since 1928, from West Point to Houston. By 1934, the road was designated as MS 47, starting at MS 10 and ending at MS 8. MS 8 was rerouted south of Buena Vista to Trebloc by 1944, and the northern terminus of MS 47 remained at Buena Vista. A section of MS 47 near MS 10 was paved by 1953, and another from south of the Clay–Chickasaw county line to MS 8 by 1955. All of the route south of MS 8 was paved by 1957, and a new gravel road was constructed north of MS 47 to MS 32. The gravel road was designated as MS 385 one year later. After being proposed in July 1957, the section from Trebloc to Buena Vista was paved by 1958. ==Major intersections==
