History
edit
The route was originally designated on August 21, 1923, along renumbered portions of SH 22, SH 18, and SH 2 extending from Graham to Breckenridge, then southeast from Breckenridge, reaching the southern end of Waco.[2] On July 31, 1929, SH 67 was to be rerouted away from Carlton and through Clairette and Alexander instead if bonds were voted.[2] On December 17, 1929, it was rerouted away from Carlton and through Clairette and Alexander instead.[2] On September 26, 1945, the section from Breckenridge to Waco was transferred to SH 6. Part became U.S. Highway 183 (US 183) and SH 69 (later SH 112). On May 6, 1974, SH 67 was relocated in Graham over a new route and a portion of FM 61. SH 67A was a spur which was designated on April 27, 1925, from SH 67 in Breckenridge to Woodson.[2] It was extended on January 16, 1928, to Throckmorton.[2] On March 19, 1930, this was renumbered as SH 157 (later SH 6, now US 183).
