Old FM 523
Farm to Market Road 523 once followed a path northwestward from FM 2004 to Angleton, making a north curve into the city, intersecting at SH 35 a mile northeast from the business district. The proposed "bypass" was built and the old route was given to the county and city of Angleton for maintenance, respectively. The part of FM 523 from State Highway 35 to State Highway 288 was meant to be a Highway 35 bypass around Angleton but the highway was quickly changed back to its original alignment through Angleton.
