Route description

FM 1750 begins at SH 36; this intersection is actually located in Callahan County.[2] The route travels to the west and quickly enters Taylor County, passing Potosi before turning north and into Abilene.[3] It crosses the Loop 322 freeway west of Abilene Regional Airport and passes to the west of Lytle Lake before ending at another intersection with SH 36.[1]

History

FM 1750 was first designated on May 23, 1951; the original route was a section southward 6.1 miles from SH 36 in Abilene, but it was extended through Potosi and to another connection with SH 36 on December 17, 1952, adding 6.2 miles.[1] On June 27, 1995, the northern section between FM 707 to SH 36 in Abilene was internally redesignated as Urban Road 1750 (UR 1750); as with other urban roads, TxDOT continues to sign the route using the Farm Road marker.[4]
