State Highway 11 (SH 11) is a highway that runs fromUS 59 (FutureI-369) inLinden toSH 56 inSherman in northeast Texas.
SH 11 begins at an intersection with State Highway 56 on the easternedge ofSherman, just north of the Sherman Regional Airport. The route then travels to the southeast through Northeast Texas. In 2009, it was rerouted around the city ofCommerce, concurrent with State Highway 24 and State Loop 178, with the old routing through Commerce transferred to a business route. It continues southeast towardSulphur Springs, where it shares a concurrency with State Highway 154 and the old routing of US 67, and intersectsI-30 on the south side of town. After Sulphur Springs, the route takes a more easterly direction through Northeast Texas, before reaching its eastern terminus atUS 59 (FutureI-369) on the eastern edge ofLinden.

State Highway 11 was one of the original twenty-five state highways proposed on June 21, 1917, overlaid on top of theJefferson Highway.[2] In 1917, the routing was proposed from theOklahoma state line atDenison, south on present dayU.S. Highway 69 throughWhitewright intoGreenville. From Greenville, it went east onU.S. Highway 67 toMount Pleasant, and south onU.S. Highway 271 toGilmer and alongState Highway 300 toLongview, and finally,U.S. Highway 80 throughMarshall to theLouisiana state line.
On June 17, 1918, the segment from Gilmer to Longview had yet to be built, so the road was rerouted over the current US 271 and US 80 routes throughGladewater, Texas.[3]
On August 21, 1923, SH 11 had lost most of its original assignment. The section north of Greenville was transferred toSH 42, the section south to Gladewater was renumbered asSH 65, and the section east of there was transferred toSH 15.SH 11 was rerouted southeast via currentSH 11 toDaingerfield, replacing part ofSH 1A, then north on currentU.S. Highway 259 toOmaha.[4] On March 16, 1927, SH 11 was rerouted via the current SH 11 to end atCommerce. The section from Greenville to Sulphur Springs became a rerouting ofSH 1.[5] On March 19, 1929,SH 11 extended north toDeKalb. On February 8, 1933, it was extended to begin inLadonia via the present dayState Highway 50.[6] On July 15, 1935, the extension from Commerce to Ladonia was cancelled (as it was not built yet).[7] On November 24, 1936, this extension was restored.[8]
On September 26, 1939 the US 259 segment ofSH 11 was cancelled and was transferred toSH 26, andSH 11 was extended from Daingerfield to Linden via its current alignment, replacingSH 47, and up US 59 to a terminus inTexarkana. The US 59 alignment ofSH 11 was removed on October 13, 1947 and was transferred to US 59, The Ladonia-Commerce segment was removed as it became part ofSH 50, and SH 11 was rerouted on its current assignment on December 17, 1970 overFM 1281 and part ofFM 697.
