Previous Routes
SH 29 was proposed by 1919 on a route from Port O'Connor to Austin. By 1926, it had been extended north and west along the previous SH 20, with a proposed ending in Rocksprings. By 1936, the southern portion had been shifted significantly, now travelling through Goliad and Refugio, ending near Gregory along portions of proposed routes SH 190 and SH 119. The original route became an extension of SH 27. In 1951, the stretch from Liberty Hill to Gregory was reassigned to U.S. Highway 183, with SH 29 routed farther east along former SH 104 from Liberty Hill to Circleville, and was also extended west from Mason along former SH 151 to Eldorado. In 1977, the section from Eldorado to Menard was redesignated U.S. Highway 190, shortening SH 29 to its current designation.
SH 29A was a proposed spur route splitting at Luling and travelling northwest through San Marcos to Blanco. By 1933, it had been renumbered SH 80.

Famous quotes containing the words previous and/or routes:
“No man tastes pleasures truly, who does not earn them by previous business; and few people do business well, who do nothing else.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
