  ## History
  
  SR 337 was established between 1960 and 1963. It entered the state farther to the north than it currently does, traveling along Jamestown Road, and through the western part of Menlo; then, it continued to LaFayette as it does today. By 1966, it was rerouted to the east, through Menlo, along Edison Street, and turned northeast at Mitchell Road. By 1978, the highway was rerouted in Menlo, to follow 7th Avenue and Menlo–LaFayette Road, as it does today. In 1988, SR 337 was rerouted throughout the southern part of LaFayette, along its current routing.
