History
Route 361 was originally an alignment of Route 4 from Route 41 (and formerly U.S. Route 7) to the state line, where it continued as New York State Route 361 to the village of Millerton and U.S. Route 44. In 1966, the Connecticut Department of Transportation decided to truncate Route 4 from the state line back to Sharon, and renumbered the stretch as Route 361 to match up at the state line. In 1980, the New York State Department of Transportation decommissioned their alignment of Route 361 and turned it over to Dutchess County, which designated it as County Route 62.
