Farm to Market Road 17 (
FM 17) is located in
Van Zandt and
Wood counties. The road is long. The road begins at an intersection with
SH 64 near
Canton. From there, it goes northeast, intersecting
I-20 at an interchange. The road continues on to
SH 110 in
Grand Saline, Texas. The road then follows SH 110 to
US 80. The road follows US 80 before heading northeast and north to
FM 515. The road follows FM 515 east and then heads north and east to
SH 154 in
Yantis. FM 17 was formed on March 26, 1942, from Grand Saline to Alba, replacing a part of
SH 110. The road was extended southwest on January 11, 1945. On June 11 of that year, the road was extended southwest to Canton, its current southern terminus. The road was extended to Yantis on December 17, 1947. The road was extended along old
US 69 in Alba on October 26, 1954. On October 31, 1957, the road was extended east from Yantis. On October 11, 1961, the section from Yantis east was transferred to
FM 2225. This section of FM 2225 became part of
FM 2966 on October 6, 1980, due to construction of
Lake Fork Reservoir, which caused some parts of FM 2225 to be inundated and also resulted in FM 17 being relocated along FM 515 over
Lake Fork Reservoir, as the old route was inundated (part is now part of FM 514 and FM Spur 514). ==FM 18==
