State Highway 59 or SH 59 is a state highway that runs from St. Jo to Jacksboro, Texas. The original route was designated by 1933 between Bowie and Montague, with a proposed extension north to Nocona. By 1939, it was rerouted, so instead of going north from Montague to Nocona, it ran east from Montague to Saint Jo. In 1945, it was extended further south to near Jacksoboro, with the final extension into Jacksoboro in 1968 over previous SH 24, which had been rerouted farther south.
