Arkansas Highway 37 was first formed in the original 1926 state highway plan as a route from Highway 17 near McCrory north to Highway 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 US 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 US 71 (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 US 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 Missouri Route 37. The brief connector segment was renumbered in January 1976 to match the Missouri designation, thus providing continuity for travelers seeking Eureka Springs.[8]
