State Highway 10, or SH 10, runs from SH 183 in Euless to the intersection of I-820, SH 121 and SH 183 in Hurst. This highway was created when a portion of SH 183 was rerouted in 1979. It is locally known as Hurst Boulevard. It passes near the main facility of Bell Helicopter Textron.

History

.

In 1919 the segment from New Mexico to Lobo (still a proposed route) was assigned to the ambitious SH 12 roadway.

In 1922 the routing from Alpine to Fort Stockton had not yet been built, so SH 10 and SH 12 were rerouted again in West Texas. SH 10 now left its old alignment at Valentine via the current FM 505 eastward to SH 166 and SH 17 into Fort Davis. A segment between Fort Davis and Fort Stockton was proposed using an old postal road, but was never built.

In 1926 US 90 was overlaid onto the Van Horn-Valentine Segment of SH 10, US 290 was overlayed on the segments just east of Fort Stockton to Sonora, US 67 from Brownwood to Stephensville, and finally, US 377 was overlaid on the remainder of the road to Fort Worth. While the routes were marked concurrently, by 1933 SH 10 had lost all of its assignment West of Brady. The road was extended, however, through Fort Worth into Denton, Pilot Point and finally Whitesboro.

By 1939 most of SH 10 was cancelled, leaving only the Denton-Whitesboro segment to the old highway. In 1960, that highway was reassigned to SH 99, which, ironically, had taken most of the western SH 10 segments in the 1930s.
