SH 322 was designated in 1939, running from SH 26 (now US 259) in Henderson, passing near Crims Chapel and Monroe, to the GreggRusk county line. In 1944, the highway was extended north to SH 149 south of Longview. In 1967, SH 322 was extended northward to I-20.

Notes and References

  1. The official length is shorter than the actual length as TxDOT considers SH 322 to be discontinuous at SH 149 rather than concurrent with it.
