New York State Route 37 (NY 37) is a
NY 37 was assigned in 1930 to the portion of the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway between Redwood and Malone as well as to a previously unnumbered roadway between Watertown and Redwood. The Redwood–Malone portion was originally part of NY 3 when the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924. NY 37 has since been rerouted in areas, primarily near Ogdensburg and Massena.
Route description
Watertown to Ogdensburg
NY 37 begins at an intersection with US 11 just north of Watertown in the town of Pamelia. Between Watertown and Theresa, NY 37 follows a north–south alignment and parallels Interstate 81 (I-81), located just west of NY 37. Southwest of Theresa, I-81 turns to the northwest as NY 37 intersects NY 26 and NY 411, the westward continuation of NY 26. NY 26 joins NY 37 around the western edge of the village before splitting to the northwest a short distance to the north. NY 37, however, continues northward, passing through Redwood before curving northeast as it enters St. Lawrence County.[3]
Across the county line, NY 37 parallels

Ogdensburg to Massena

Although most of NY 37 in the town of
East of Fort Covington, NY 37 follows a more southeasterly routing as it separates from the northernmost extents of the state. In the Westville hamlet of Westville Center, NY 37 meets the western terminus of NY 122. Farther south, NY 37 enters the village of Malone, where it terminates at US 11, NY 11B and NY 30.[5]
History
The portion of NY 37 from
When NY 37 was first assigned, it entered Ogdensburg on Main Street (modern NY 68) and exited the city on Ford Street and Proctor Avenue. East of the city, NY 37 used less than 1 mile (1.6 km) of its modern alignment before turning south to follow Van Rensselaer Road to Waddington. The modern, riverside alignment of NY 37 between Ogdensburg and Waddington was designated as NY 37A as part of the 1930 renumbering.[7] In the late 1950s, the alignments of NY 37 and NY 37A were flipped, placing NY 37 on its current routing and NY 37A on Van Rensselaer Road. During the same time period, NY 37 was rerouted to follow a new bypass around the southern edge of Ogdensburg.[10][11]
In the
Suffixed routes
NY 37 once had as many as four suffixed routes; two have since been removed.
- NY 37A was an alternate route of NY 37 between Ogdensburg and Waddington. It was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to what is now NY 37 between the two locations. At the time, NY 37 was routed on Van Rensselaer Road.[7] The alignments of NY 37 and NY 37A were flipped in the late 1950s.[10][11] On April 10, 1980, the NY 37A designation was removed.[16] Ownership and maintenance of Van Rensselaer Road was transferred from the state of New York to St. Lawrence County on September 1, 1982,[17] at which time the highway was redesignated as CR 28.[18]
- NY 37B (4.03 miles or 6.49 kilometres) is the former routing of NY 37 through Massena. NY 37B leaves NY 37 west of the village and rejoins its parent just east of Massena.[1] It was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering.[7]
- NY 37C (9.89 miles or 15.92 kilometres) is a loop off of NY 37 in northeastern
- NY 37D was a spur connecting NY 37 to CR 46.[23]
