State Highway 206 (SH 206) is a Texas state highway running from US 67 near Coleman northeast to Cisco.

History

[edit]

SH 206 was originally designated on July 23, 1934, replacing a section of SH 23 between Coleman and Rising Star. By 1939, the section between Cross Plains and Rising Star was transferred to SH 36.[2] On October 24, 1955, SH 206 was extended over old US 67 to new US 67. On March 22, 1960, SH 206 was extended northeast from Cross Plains to FM 569. On June 26, 1962, SH 206 was extended from FM 569 to another point on FM 569 2 miles south of US 80. On June 27, 1963, SH 206 was extended to US 80. The route was extended into Cisco on August 28, 1991, replacing US 80 when it was decommissioned west of Dallas.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The certified mileage given is shorter than the actual mileage as TxDOT considers SH 206 to be discontinuous at rather than concurrent with US 84, US 283, and SH 153.
