State Highway 24, or SH 24, runs from Paris to Campbell in north Texas. It is a portion of the main route, along with Interstate 30, from Paris to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

History

and was called the "Denton-Whitesboro" highway.

By 1933, the routing had changed substantially. The original Denton to Whitesboro route was reassigned as SH 10. Portions of the former SH 34 (Cooper to Greenville), SH 39 (Greenville to Graham), SH 22 (Graham to Olney), and SH 28 (Olney to Benjamin), and SH 18 (Dickens to Lubbock) were then reassigned as SH 24, which was now planned to reach from Paris to the New Mexico border. But by 1939, this extended western plan had been dropped and the highway was rerouted west of Newcastle over SH 120.

In 1968, the portion between Jacksboro and Bridgeport was rerouted south of Lake Bridgeport, replacing State Highway 824, which was an alternate route designated in 1964.

In 1971, the portions west of Greenville (Greenville to Seymour) were removed from SH 24 and assigned to U.S. Highway 380. Later, in 1979, the part of SH 24 southwest of Commerce was moved to a different highway (replaced between Commerce and Greenville with SH 224), making it concurrent with SH 50 down to Campbell, which shortened SH 24 to its present form.
