State Highway 75 is a Texas state route remnant of the old U.S. Highway 75. State Highway 75 retained the number as a state highway when Interstate 45 supplanted U.S. Highway 75 "south of" Dallas except "in" Dallas, where old U.S. Highway 75 is now State Highway 310, and through Ferris, Palmer, Ennis, and Corsicana, where the old highway is signed as Business Route I-45. This route was designated in 1987.

Previous routes

SH 75 was previously designated by 1933 to replace SH 13A from Amarillo east to the Oklahoma border. By 1927 it was running concurrently with the newly designated U.S. Highway 66, and was cancelled by 1938.

Related routes

North of Dallas, US 75 was rerouted onto Central Expressway, one of the first expressway projects in the United States, in the 1950s. Its original route from Richardson to Howe (south of Sherman) was redesignated as State Highway 5.
