History

SH-137 first appears on the 1958 state highway map. At this time, the route began at US-60 and continued north to SH-10 north of Ottawa as it does today. However, it continued north from there; its northern terminus was in

US-69 Alternate). The highway had a gravel surface at this time.[3] SH-137 was paved in its entirety by 1961.[4]
The route remained in this configuration throughout the remainder of the twentieth century.

In 2002, the portion of highway north of SH-10 was stripped of its designation as SH-137 and turned over to Ottawa County, truncating the route to its present-day termini.[5] No further changes have occurred to the route since.
