From the site:

Georgia Governor M.E. Thompson described Martha Berry as an inspiration to all who believe in education. Berry, a native of Rome. Georgia, dedicated her life to helping young men and women attain an education. And in 1947, Governor Thompson told the thousands of students and faculty of Berry College that he would see to it that U.S.27 would be called The Martha Berry Highway through his state.

The Georgia U.S. highway 27 Association was formed in 1994 to promote economic development along the road which runs the full length of the western portion of the state. The group has worked closely with the Georgia Department Of Transportation on their plans to four-lane the highway.
