History
SH 71 was originally designated in 1933 from Austin to Matagorda Bay, absorbing SH 3D in the process. In 1935, U.S. Highway 290 was codesignated along the stretch from Austin to Bastrop, dropping SH 71 from this section completely by 1939. US Highway 290 (or US 290) is an east-west Highway located entirely in Texas. Bastrop is a city and the County seat of Bastrop County, Texas, United States, located about thirty miles southeast of Austin it is In 1951, this section was restored when US 290 was rerouted farther north. Late in 1965, the highway was extended to its current designation over the cancelled Farm to Market Road 93 and Farm to Market Road 734. Farm to Market Road 734 ( FM 734) is a 193-mile divided roadway located in Travis and Williamson counties of Texas between RM 620 and RM
