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. The alignments of NY 37 and NY 37A were flipped in the late 1950s. On April 10, 1980, the NY 37A designation was removed. Ownership and maintenance of Van Rensselaer Road was transferred from the state of New York to St. Lawrence County on September 1, 1982, at which time the highway was redesignated as CR 28.
- 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. It was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering.
- NY 37C (9.89 miles or 15.92 kilometres) is a loop off of NY 37 in northeastern St. Lawrence County and northwestern Franklin County. While NY 37 follows a direct east–west routing between Massena and the Bombay community of Hogansburg, NY 37C dips south to serve to the Brasher community of Helena. NY 37C was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering.
- NY 37D was a spur connecting NY 37 to NY 26 in Theresa, utilizing part of NY 37's original alignment through the Theresa area. It was assigned c. 1936 and removed in the mid-1960s. It is now maintained by Jefferson County as CR 136 and CR 46.

Famous quotes containing the word routes:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
