History
FM 1419 was originally designated in 1949, from the junction with FM 511 to South Point. Later that year, the northward extension from South Point to SH 4 was approved; a portion of that extension replaced FM 511. The western addition, to SH 4 in central Brownsville, was designated in 1955. In 1995, the eastern section of the route, from FM 511 to SH 4 east of Brownsville, was officially redesignated as Urban Road 1419 (UR 1419); as with other urban roads, TxDOT continues to sign the route using the Farm Road marker.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
