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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
