The stretch of U.S. 41 from between the interchange with U.S. 50 west/6th Street and SR 441 north (Willow Street) / Decker Road is named for Clarence J. "Mac" McCormick III, a local business leader. The U.S. 41 bypass dates back to the 1960s when it was part of a proposed routing for Interstate 64 that would have utilized the U.S. 150 corridor from Louisville to Vincennes and U.S. 50 across from Vincennes to St. Louis. Political and business interests moved the Interstate 64 routing further to the south toward Evansville and the freeway bypass of Vincennes that continues onto U.S. 50 west toward Lawrenceville, Illinois has remained the same since.
