History
FM 604 was designated on August 3, 1945, to run from SH 36 south to Oplin. On July 11, 1951, the road was extended north to US 80 (now I-20) at Clyde, replacing FM 1078, and west from Oplin to US 84, replacing a section of FM 688 (the connecting section was designated on May 23, 1951). On February 20, 1952, the road was extended west to US 83 at Guion, replacing another section of FM 688 and all of FM 1748 (the remainder of FM 688 would be transferred to FM 382 on November 27, 1957). On October 28, 1953, the road was extended northwest 4.0 miles (6.4 km) from US 80 (now I-20), creating a concurrency with US 80 (now I-20). On May 19, 1966, the road was extended northwest to SH 351, replacing FM 2927. On May 26, 2005, FM 604 was relocated on a more direct route south of Clyde, eliminating the concurrency with I-20; the old route (as well as Spur 189) was given to the city and county.
