State Road 426 (SR 426) is a major road in Orange and Seminole counties, entirely north of Orlando. Its length is closely similar to SR 438. East of here, the road continues as County Road 426 (CR 426) as a direct route to Mims and Scottsmoor, the census-designated places of Brevard County, terminating at SR 46.

SR 426 is signed east–west, but takes a diagonal path through the

Orlando-Kissimmee, Florida, Metropolitan Statistical Area and rural Seminole County, by the Econlockhatchee River

.

History

SR 202 was defined without a number by 1931 state law, chapter 14920, approved May 29, 1931: "That certain road beginning at the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of section 28, township 20, range 32, in

State Road number 44, and running in a southwesterly direction along the paved road as now located and known as the Oviedo-Geneva Road to the intersection of Broadway and Bay Streets in Oviedo, Florida; and thence running west approximately five-eighths of a mile, thence in a southwesterly direction along the present paved road as now located and now known as the Oviedo-Winter Park Road, to its intersection with the Orange County line at the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of section 35, township 21, range 30, in the County of Seminole and State of Florida; thence continuing and following the present paved road to the point where said road intersects with the city limits of the Town of Winter Park, Florida

."

In modern-day terms, this road is

SR 426 from Old Mims Road south of Geneva to just east of Lakemont Avenue in Winter Park, with a few realignments in Oviedo

.

SR 202 was extended west without a number in 1935 state law chapter 17306, filed May 29, 1935: "A certain road described as an extension of State Road No. 202, beginning at the East City limits of Winter Park, in Orange County, through Winter Park and on Fairbanks Avenue to the old Apopka Brick Road, thence northwesterly crossing the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, turning left and intersecting State Road No. 2, thence Westerly through Clarcona intersecting Apopka-Ocoee Road one-quarter mile South of Atlantic Coast Line Railroad."

This road is now known as

CR 437 (which was added to the State Road system as an extension of SR 24

in 1935).
