## History

SH 144 was designated on March 17, 1930, from Glen Rose to Meridian. The road from Cleburne to Walnut Springs was erroneously omitted from the state highway log, but was designated as SH 144T. On November 30, 1932, SH 144T was officially added to the state highway log. On December 8, 1932, SH 144T was decommissioned as the construction on the section of SH 144 from Walnut Springs to Glen Rose was taken over and construction had started on it. On July 12, 1933, it was extended north to Granbury and then northwest via Lipan to Brandon's Bridge. On October 9, 1934, it was rerouted west to northwest of Lipan. On July 15, 1935, everything north of Glen Rose was cancelled. The section from Glen Rose to Granbury was restored on September 22, 1936. An alignment of the route in Glen Rose was previously designated Spur 216 before being combined with SH 144 on September 26, 1949.
