History

The route number was originally assigned in 1962 to Farm to Market Road 2775, a 3.6-mile (5.8 km) former road in Kleberg County extending northwest of RM 628 near Loyola Beach.[1] That road became an extension of FM 772 in 1966.[2]

The current route was established in 1967.[1] In 1974, the continuation of the road within the state park, previously without designation, was named Park Road 68.[3]
