History
Historic SH 58

SH 58 was designated on August 21, 1923, over a route from Ganado through Bay City, Columbia, and Angleton to a point on the mainland just east of Galveston, replacing SH 19A.[3][4] On March 19, 1928, the western portion of the route was rerouted to the Amy Camp near Palacios from Bay City.[5] The eastern portion was rerouted through Alvin between Angleton and Galveston.[6] on February 20, 1929, the section from Ganado to Midfield was restored as a state highway, with no number, and this was eliminated on March 19, 1930.[7] On June 25, 1930, the route was truncated to end at Alvin as the route from Alvin to Galveston was transferred to SH 38.[8][9] On April 3, 1931, a branch west to Ganado was added, but that was cancelled on January 20, 1932.[10]

Historic SH 58 Spur

SH 58 Spur was designated on May 28, 1933 from SH 58 to the Retrieve Prison Farm.[11] On April 10, 1934, the route designation was canceled, and the highway was added to SH 35 as an extension.[12][13] SH 58 Spur was redesignated as SH 35 Spur.

The route in Midland was designated on May 28, 2009.[1] Construction of the new roadway between Cotton Flat Rd. and Carter Ave. began in May 2010.[14] It was completed by June 30, 2011, but it was cancelled that day.[2] This route became Business State Highway 158-B in 2011 when it was rerouted.
