History

FM 585 was designated on July 16, 1945. The highway originally ran from its junction with US 84 northward approximately 6.5 miles (10.5 km) to the road connecting the communities of Thrifty and Fry (present-day FM 2492). On October 26, 1954, the roadway was extended north to the intersection with FM 1850. The route reached its current length on May 2, 1962, when it was extended northward and westward to connect with SH 206, replacing FM 2560.[1]
