Future Plans

There is currently a proposal for a new loop around Cleveland, Loop 105 that will start near the SE city limit of Cleveland on SH321 and travel to the south west, intersecting with US 59 and coming back NW back to SH105, west of Cleveland. Construction is supposed to begin late 2006- early 2007.


Houston-Galveston Area Council long term plans (by 2025) show plans to expand SH 321 to an urban four lane divided highway with left turn lane, south out of Cleveland until SH 105 cuts east (6-8 miles south of Cleveland).


History

Based on Handbook of Texas article about Tarkington Prairie, SH 321 is believed to cover part of the Nacogdoches-Lynchburg trail, being the Old Wells store (as it is referred to on the historical marker) sits along the trail, and the SH321 runs directly in front of the building.


Historical Markers

  • Old Wells Store- Tarkington Prairie- Roughly 7 miles SE of Cleveland where CR2274 meets SH321.
  • Burton B. Tarkington -Tarkington Prairie- Roughly 5.5 miles SE of Cleveland in front of the Tarkington Volunteer Fire Department, near CR 2249 & CR2250 on SH321.
