History
FM 603 was originally designated in 1945, and was designated only from Eula to what was then US 80, a distance of 4.8 miles (7.7 km). In 1951, US 80 was relocated a mile to the north, and the old route was replaced by FM 18. At the same time, FM 603 was extended south to SH 36, increasing its length to 10.6 miles (17.1 km). In 1961, it was extended an additional half mile to the north, to the new routing of US 80, which later became I-20.
