History

Loop 340 was designated on September 27, 1960, running from US 84 southeastward and eastward to US 77 south of Waco. On February 26, 1964, Loop 340 extended north to SH 6 and Loop 232, and Loop 232 from SH 6 to US 84 and FM 2418 was cancelled and combined with Loop 340. On February 29, 1968, it extended southwest to FM 3051. On September 25, 1984, SH 6 was rerouted concurrent with Loop 340. The old route of SH 6 became Loop 484.
