History

SH 495 began as FM 495 in 1945, running from northwest of McAllen east to Val Verde Rd., northeast of Alamo. In 1952, the route was extended west to SH 107 on the north side of Mission. In 1989, it was again extended west, this time to connect with U.S. Route 83 in Palmview. The route was then transferred to SH 495 in 2001, and was extended westward to Abram Road to make a new connection with US-83.
