Historic termini

• In the original 1926 plan, US 190 served the purpose of modern-day Interstate 12, as the road around the north side of Lake Pontchartrain.

• In 1935, the route was extended across the Mississippi River, taking over a section of U.S. Route 71. It then ended in the West Texas town of Brady, Texas at an intersection with U.S. Highway 87.

• U.S. 190 was assigned to its last, lonely 150 miles (241 km) across the sparsely populated area south of San Angelo, Texas in 1979.
