Farm to Market Road 5 (FM 5) is a farm to market road in Parker County, Texas.[1]
Contents |
FM 5 begins at FM 1187 at Aledo. It briefly travels to the south before turning west and entering Annetta South. The route then turns to the north and passes through Annetta and Annetta North. FM 5 ends at the eastbound frontage road of IH 20 at its Exit #415 in Willow Park.[1]
FM 5 was originally designated in 1942, from Aledo due north to US 80, replacing Spur 131[2]. By 1946, it extended south and west to a road intersection at Annetta. By 1963, it had been extended west and north to Willow Park, replacing FM 1545 and essentially creating a loop route. In 1985, the original portion of the route was transferred to FM 1187.[1]
The entire route is in Parker County.
