[edit] History

An unpaved road along the same right-of-way was used since white settlers began traveling south to Nocona in the late 19th Century. Nocona became the economic hub of northern Montague County by the turn of the 20th Century, and improved roads were needed to move goods (particularly cotton, oil, and cattle) to the railroad from the numerous areas of northern Montague County.
