Farm to Market Road 3537 (FM 3537) is a farm to market road in Collin County, Texas, that is entirely within the city of Frisco.[1] It is a redesignated remnant of what used to be FM 720.

Route description

FM 3537 is a suburban road that begins at SH 289 (Preston Road) in the center of Frisco.[2] It travels eastward to its terminus at FM 2478 (Custer Road) on the border between Frisco and McKinney.[2] The road is entirely contained within Frisco and is designated as "Main Street."

History

FM 3537 was originally part of FM 720, which was designated in Collin County in 1947. FM 720 replaced an old alignment of SH 24 between SH 289 and US 75, connecting Frisco and McKinney. In 1955, FM 720 was extended westward through downtown Frisco and into Denton County, to the new alignment of SH 24 (which would become US 380 in 1977), replacing FM 388 and portions of FM 423.

FM 720 was truncated in 2001, when the portion from Frisco to US 75 was mostly removed from the state highway system. The segment of FM 720 in east Frisco between SH 289 and FM 2478 was retained on the system and redesignated as FM 3537.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Frisco, Collin County.
