On June 11, 1945, FM 11 was extended southward along SH 82 to a point 15 miles (24 km) north of Fort Stockton and then to the northeast 8.0 miles (12.9 km) to the county road to Imperial now known as FM 1053. That extension was rescinded on February 26, 1946 when the road was instead extended to the southeast through the former community of Abell City to Buena Vista Rd. On October 29, 1948, the road was extended an additional 10.1 miles (16.3 km) miles to the southeast, for a total length of 27.0 miles (43.5 km). The road was extended an additional 8.0 miles (12.9 km) to Girvin on July 14, 1949. On May 23, 1951, FM 11 was extended southeast 4.4 miles (7.1 km) to US 67.[1]
