History
What is now NY 437 was originally improved to state highway standards in stages during the early 20th century. The portion from the modern traffic circle with NY 38 to the Owasco Lake outlet was rebuilt in 1908 as part of State Highway 384 (SH 384), while the section between the outlet and current NY 38A was reconstructed from 1912 to 1913 as part of SH 752. Both numbers are internal, legislative designations and are thus unsigned. NY 437 was marked on contemporary maps of the area as a designation for the short east–west state highway as early as 1947; however, the designation was not officially assigned by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) until January 1, 1970.
