Route description

McCrory to Cord

AR 37 begins north of McCrory at AR 17 and runs north to AR 145 near Beedeville and AR 14 in Amagon. The route passes near the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge.^[3] The route continues north to AR 18 in Grubbs and US 67 in Tuckerman.^[4] AR 37 also passes the historic Tuckerman Water Tower in Tuckerman. Arkansas Highway 37 continues northwest to Cord, where the route meets AR 122 and terminates.^[5]

Gateway to Missouri

The only town on the route, Gateway, is also the southern terminus (at US 62). The northern terminus is at the Missouri state line where the road continues as Route 37. This road was originally Highway 47 but was renumbered to match the Missouri designation.

History

Highway 47
Location:	Benton County
Existed:	1926–1979

Arkansas Highway 37 was first formed in the original 1926 state highway plan as a route from AR 17 near McCrory north to AR 18 near Grubbs.^[6] By 1940, the route had been extended north to Tuckerman, existing as a gravel road, and in some portions, an unimproved dirt road.^[7] By 1945, the routing was extended to Cord. The highway's routing has remained essentially unchanged since this extension, though the route is now paved.

Highway 47 was the former designation for U.S. Highway 62 between Rogers and Gateway and Highway 37 between Gateway and the Missouri State Line. Running a distance of approximately 18 miles (29 km), its southern terminus was at the intersection of U.S. Route 71 (aka 8th & Walnut Streets) in Rogers then passed through the communities of Avoca and Garfield before it ended at the Missouri state line just north of Gateway. When U.S. 62 was designated in Arkansas in 1930, Highway 47 was truncated to the ¹⁄₂-mile (0.80 km) segment from Gateway to the Missouri state line where it continued as Route 37. The brief connector segment was renumbered from Highway 47 in 1979 to match the Missouri routing.^[1]
