Farm to Market Road 174 or FM 174 is a two-lane, state-maintained highway that connects small farming communities of Archer, Clay, and Montague counties in north central Texas.
FM 174 was designated in 1945 as a route from SH 148 east to Buffalo Springs[1]. In 1949, it extended east to the end of FM 176 at Vashti and replaced FM 176 from Vashti to Bellevue[1]. In 1953, the portion from Vashti to Bellevue was transferred to FM 1288 and it instead extended east from Vashti to US 287 in Bowie[1]. In 1954, it extended west from SH 148 to US 281[1]. In 1980, it extended east along the old location of US 287 from the new location of US 287 to US 81, completing its current route[1].
FM 174 terminates at US 281 at Windthorst and US 81 at Bowie.
