In 1915 the Texas branch of the Daughters of the American Revolution decided to mark the historic route of the King's Highway, also called the El Camino Real or the Old San Antonio Road. They placed squat Texas pink granite markers every 5 miles along the route from the border of Louisiana in Sabine County TX to the border with Mexico in Maverick County TX in 1918.
This marker, No. 27, is located east of Crockett along the SH 21.
The markers are identical, and read as follows:
"KING'S HIGHWAY
CAMINO REAL
OLD SAN ANTONIO ROAD
Marked by the
Daughters of the
American Revolution
and the State of Texas
1918"
