Farm to Market Road 1892 (FM 1892) runs about .88 miles (1.42 km) from east of Frankston, Texas north, then east, to a boat ramp just west of the dam at Lake Palestine.

Route description

FM 1892 has no local street names. Rural for the most part, the landscape along the road includes rolling hills of alternating open pastures and trees. The southern portion of Lake Palestine can be seen by those traveling northbound on most of the road.

Some time after 1962 (when FM 1892 was commissioned), was when the damming and formation of Lake Palestine took place. The road serves no towns, but does connect the southern portion of Lake Palestine to the busy US 175, in the northeast part of Anderson County. One county road and one dam-area access road both intersect FM 1892, connecting more of the surrounding countryside by the lake.

History

FM 1892 was originally designated in 1951 on a route from US 281 east 3.7 miles to a county road. In 1952, it extended to the Wilson County line; this route was transferred to FM 536 later that year. FM 1892 was redesignated on that same day on a route from RM 473 in Sisterdale south 5.5 miles toward Boerne.This route extended south 5 miles in 1953. It was extended to US 87 in 1954. In 1955, it extended north 4 miles. In 1956, it extended north 1 mile. In 1960, it was transferred to RM 1376. The current FM 1892 was designated in 1962.

Major intersections

The route is in northeastern Anderson County at the south end of Lake Palestine.
