Farm to Market Road 1960 (FM 1960) is afarm-to-market road in theU.S. state ofTexas, maintained by theTexas Department of Transportation. Its western terminus is at an intersection withU.S. Highway 290 (US 290) andState Highway 6 (SH 6) in northwesternHarris County. It travels generally to the east, ending atSH 321 inDayton in westernLiberty County.FM 1960 has long been an artery inGreater Houston, though it has been shortened and re-routed over the years. Once consisting of most of the current SH 6 in West Houston as well as its current northern route, it still traverses 26 ZIP codes north of the Houston city limits.
FM 1960 is also one of the very few FM roads with a business segment, which runs through the middle ofHumble.
Before becoming a Farm to Market road, part of the route was called Jackrabbit Road.
On June 27, 1995, the section west ofFM 2100 had its internal designation changed toUrban Road 1960 (UR 1960).[2] The designation of this segment reverted to FM 1960 with the elimination of the Urban Road system on November 15, 2018.[3]
In 2011, the segment fromSH 249 to Aldine-Westfield Road was designated as Cypress Creek Parkway in an effort to improve the image of the roadway. Landscaped medians with designated turn lanes replaced the broad open center median originally in place.
