History

A previous alignment of FM 2127 existed in Delta County. It was designated on October 28, 1953 from FM 1528 at Gough westward 1.6 miles to a road intersection. FM 2127 was cancelled on October 15, 1954, with its mileage transferred to FM 2068. The current designation of FM 2127 was established in Wise County on December 19, 1955, from SH 24 (now part of FM 1810) to Crafton. The route was extended into Jack County to FM 1125 on June 2, 1967, and further lengthened through Montague County over the western portion of FM 1125 to SH 148 on August 16 of the following year, bringing FM 2127 to its current routing.[1][6]
