Route description

The route is located in northeastern Covington and southern Smith counties.^[3]^[4] MS 37 is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3,^[5] and all of it is maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), as part of the Mississippi State Highway System.^[1]

MS 37 starts at the three-way junction with US 84 east of Collins in Covington County,^[3] and it travels northward through a forested area.^[8] The road turns northeastward at Hopewell School Road before traveling north past S.B. Barnes Lane.^[3] It intersects MS 532 in the unincorporated area of Hot Coffee,^[8] and it crosses Oakohay Creek north of Calhoun Church Road. The road enters Smith County after intersecting Drive-In Lane.^[3] MS 37 intersects County Road 19 (CO 19) and crosses Lyon Creek.^[4] South of Old Gilmer Road, the route enters the city limits of Taylorsville.^[6] MS 37, known as Pine Street inside the town, travels north through the residential area and intersects MS 28 at Mayfield Street and Comfort Street.^[8] Pine Street ends at its intersection with MS 28, and MS 37 continues northward along Welcome Street. The route turns northwestward at Magnolia Drive and leaves the city limits.^[6] The road re-enters the forest,^[8] and crosses Fisher Creek near CO 72. MS 37 turns north at CO 89, and intersects CO 80-W at Center Ridge. The route then turns westward at CO 37-3 and enters the city limits of Raleigh. MS 37 ends at MS 35, and the road continues as CO 77.^[4]

History

A road has existed from Collins to Raleigh since 1928, with gravel layered between Collins and Taylorsville.^[7] All of the road was layered with gravel by 1932, and it became part of MS 35.^[7]^[8] By 1941, the road was renumbered to MS 35E, as a new road from Mount Olive to Raleigh was designated as MS 35W. MS 35E was also realigned onto a paved road that started at US 84 east of Collins, transitioning to a gravel road at Taylorsville.^[9]^[10] Around nine years later, MS 35E was renumbered to MS 37, and MS 35W became part of MS 35.^[11]^[12] The section of the route near Raleigh was paved by 1951,^[12]^[13] and the remaining section near Taylorsville was paved by July 1952.^[14]^[15]
