[edit] History

FM 989 was originally designated on November 23, 1948 with a northern terminus at U.S. Highway 82 in Nash and a southern terminus at U.S. Highway 59, half a mile south west of the Loop, a total length of 4.2 miles. However, on October 28, 1953, it was extended to include a 5.4 mile loop and connect with Farm to Market Road 559 northwest of Texarkana. On September 20, 1961, FM 989 was extended again, picking up an additional 3.1 miles on the south end, to connect to Farm to Market Road 2516.
