History

FM 1164 was originally designated on February 25, 1949, to start on US 90A about 5 miles (8.0 km) west of East Bernard and go southeast for 2.9 miles (4.7 km). On November 20, 1951, the highway was extended from its former southern terminus to the northeast about 4.1 miles (6.6 km) to SH 60. On June 1, 1965, FM 1164 was made concurrent with SH 60 for 1.6 miles (2.6 km) to the south from its former eastern terminus. After its concurrency with SH 60, the highway went southeast to the San Bernard River to add a total of about 3.5 miles (5.6 km). On January 18, 1967, the section from SH 60 to the San Bernard was transferred to FM 2919. FM 1164 reverted to its 1951 designation from US 90A southeast and northeast to SH 60.[1] The former community of Nottawa was located at the junction of US 90A and FM 1164.[3]
