Farm to Market Road 1419 or FM 1419 is a farm to market route starting in Brownsville, Texas and ending east of Brownsville. The route coincides mainly with Southmost Blvd. within the city limits. It is possibly the southernmost numbered route in the Texas Highway System.

[edit] History

The route was initially designated in 1949 from where FM 511 and Southmost Blvd. intersect, traveling southeastward to the intersection of South Point. Later that year it replaced the section of 511 from the Southmost Blvd intersection northwestward to its intersection with State Highway 4. In 1955 it was again extended, this time eastward and northward to where the road again intersected SH 4, which is the current designation.

[edit] Miscellanea

Technically, the stretch from the intersection with F.M. 511 northwest to SH 4 was redesignated in 1995 as an Urban Road.
