Farm to Market Road 1892 (FM 1892) runs about .88 miles (1.42 km) from east of Frankston, Texas north, then east, to a boat ramp just west of the dam at Lake Palestine, near the headquarters of the Upper Neches River Municipal Water Authority which owns and operates the lake.

Route description

FM 1892 has no local street names. Rural for the most part, the landscape along the road includes rolling hills of alternating open pastures and trees. The southern portion of Lake Palestine can be seen by those traveling northbound on most of the road.

Some time after 1962 (when FM 1892 was commissioned), was when the damming and formation of Lake Palestine took place. The road serves no towns, but does connect the southern portion of Lake Palestine to the busy US 175, in the northeast part of Anderson County. One county road and one dam-area access road both intersect FM 1892, connecting more of the surrounding countryside by the lake.

History

FM 1892 was originally designated on December 18, 1951 on a route from US 281 east 3.7 miles to a county road. On April 29, 1952, it extended to the Wilson County line; this route was transferred to FM 536 on December 17 of that year.[2] FM 1892 was re-designated on that same day on a route from RM 473 in Sisterdale south 5.5 miles toward Boerne. This route extended south 5 miles on October 28, 1953. It was extended to US 87 on October 13, 1954. On September 21, 1955, it extended north 4 miles. On November 21, 1956, it extended north 1 mile. In 1960, it was transferred to RM 1376.[3] The current FM 1892 was designated on May 2, 1962.

Major intersections

The route is in northeastern Anderson County at the south end of Lake Palestine.
