History

SH 332 was originally designated on September 25, 1939 as the bridge over the Intercoastal Canal. On January 12, 1950, it was transferred to FM 1460 which had been designated a year earlier to form the bridge to FM 523. On September 27, 1954, the eastern terminus was extended to an intersection with the Bluewater Highway, while the western terminus was extended to FM 521 on September 29, 1954 when FM 1605 was combined with the route. On October 24, 1956, the route was redesignated back to SH 332 and the western end was extended to SH 36 replacing part of FM 521. On August 15, 1989, a concurrency with SH 288 in Lake Jackson was created.[1][2]
