Route history

'SH 36' was originally proposed in 1919 as a route from Freeport to Goldthwaite. By 1933, the section from Temple to Goldthwaite had been SH 53 and SH 74, while 'SH 36' had been rerouted northwest to Comanche. By 1939, the route was extended yet again to its current terminus in Abilene. It has run on its current course since 1946, with only minor route changes to bypass Brenham, Temple, and Freeport.
'SH 36A' was a spur route of 'SH 36' spltting off at Cameron and traveling east to Hearne. By 1933, the route had been renumbered as SH 69.
'SH 36B' was a spur route of the original 'SH 36', splitting off at Lampasas and travelling southeast to Georgetown. By 1933, it had been renumbered as parts of SH 74 and SH 195.
