Farm to Market Road 2215, or FM 2215, runs about 1.34 miles (2.16 km) from north of Frankston, Texas east, to a county road within the town of Berryville near the west shore of Lake Palestine. It is in the southeast portion of Henderson County.

Route description

FM 2215 has no local street names. Rural for the most part, the landscape along the road includes rolling hills of alternating open pastures and trees. The road has 2 lanes and no shoulders for its entire length. FM 2215 serves only Berryville, and is within the town's city limits for its entire length. It connects the small lakeside town to SH 155, which leads to Frankston to the south, and Coffee City, Dogwood City, Noonday, and Tyler to the north. FM 2215 only intersects with local county roads besides that of SH 155, its west terminus.[1][2][3]

History

Prior to 1978, the FM 2215 designation was assigned to a road in Erath County near Stephenville along a 1.2 miles (1.9 km) stretch between FM 8 and US 67; this version of FM 2215 was in effect between 1954 and 1967. The current FM 2215 was commissioned in 1978, though it is unclear as to when FM 2215 was completed. The road replaced a narrow, bumpy county road that was in existence through most of the 1970s.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Berryville, Henderson County.
