Route description

History

FM 363 is one of the original farm to market roads, designated in 1945 from Bleakwood eastward to the junction with US 190.[1] The western portion of the route, from US 96 to SH 87, was originally designated as SH 340 in 1941; that designation was cancelled and combined with FM 363 in 1945.[4]
