Farm to Market Road 2274, or FM 2274, in the eastern part of Texas (USA), runs about 12.24 miles (19.70 km) from an intersection with TX 204 in Ponta north past two multiplex intersections, then onward to an intersection with FM 856 south of the community of Concord. The road is located in east-northeast Cherokee County.
FM 2274 has no local street names. Mostly rural for all of its length, FM 2274 passes by a landscape of rolling hills of trees and farmland. All of FM 2274 has 2 lanes and no shoulders.
The original commissioning for FM 2274 by Minute Order came in 1954. The road in that Order spanned 8.3 miles (13.4 km) between TX 204 and US 79. Another Minute Order was added in 1964, this added 4.1 miles (6.6 km) more to the road. This extra mileage was along a route north of US 79, to an intersection with FM 856 near Concord. The road serves just the town of Ponta. The southern terminus intersection connects to TX 204 which goes east to near Nacogdoches and west to Jacksonville and Tyler; while the northern terminus intersection connects to FM 856 which goes north to Concord and south to near New Summerfield. Besides intersections at various county roads, FM 2274 has a brief multiplex with FM 235, an intersection with FM 3288, a brief multiplex with US 79, and its termini at TX 204 and at FM 856.
