History

Historic SH 50

Historic SH 50

SH 50 was originally proposed on August 21, 1923 as a renumbering of a portion of SH 2 between Henrietta and Bowie, when the route of SH 2 was readjusted farther east. This designation was replaced on September 26, 1939 by U.S. Highway 287 (US 287). SH 50 was designated on May 1, 1965, traveling from I-30 to SH 24, replacing part of Spur 178, FM 513, and FM 499, and all of FM 819 from FM 499 to FM 513, which was cancelled. On December 17, 1970, SH 50 was extended north to Honey Grove concurrent with part of SH 34 and over part of SH 11. On April 27, 2000, SH 50 was rerouted in Commerce. On April 24, 2003, the section concurrent with SH 34 was cancelled. On September 24, 2009, the section concurrent with SH 24 was cancelled.
