History
The highway was originally planned from Santa Anna to Rockwood by 1926. By 1928, this became an extension of SH 4. By 1931, SH 4 was rerouted west, and SH 107 returned. By 1933, this became an extension of SH 16. It was designated from Combes to Edinburg by 1933, and was complete by 1936. It was extended west then south through Mission to Hidalgo in 1939, absorbing State Highway 250. The route has changed little since then, with only the stretch from Mission to Hidalgo being transferred to FM 1016 in 1948.
