History
State Route 137 was established in 1924, composed of what is now State Route 247 from Wrightsville to Fairfax, and State Route 785 from Fairfax to Belfast. By 1927, State Route 137 was re-routed southwesterly along a previously un-numbered roadway from just south of Seaman to State Route 136 in Cherry Fork. The portion of State Route 137 from Wrightsville to West Union became State Route 247, and the portion from West Union to just south of Seaman would be removed from the state highway system, for the time being.
In 1937, the former State Route 137 from West Union to just south of Seaman was re-instated into the state highway system as an extension of State Route 247 that continued all the way to Hillsboro. Consequently, State Route 137 was shortened into the highway that it exists as today between Cherry Fork and State Route 237 just south of Seaman, with the portion of the highway between Fairfax and Belfast being re-designated as State Route 785.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
