Arkansas Highway 37 is a designation for two state highways in Arkansas. The main segment of 52.4miles runs from McCrory to Cord. A short segment of 0.61miles runs north in Benton County from U.S. Route 62 to the Missouri state line.[2]
AR 37 begins north of McCrory at AR 17 and runs north to AR 145 near Beedeville and AR 14 in Amagon. The route passes near the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge.[3] The route continues north to AR 18 in Grubbs and US 67 (Future I-57) in Tuckerman.[4] AR 37 also passes the historic Tuckerman Water Tower in Tuckerman. Arkansas Highway 37 continues northwest to Cord, where the route meets AR 122 and terminates.[5]
The only town on the route, Gateway, is also the southern terminus (at US 62). The northern terminus is at the Missouri state line where the road continues as Route 37.

Arkansas Highway 37 was first formed in the original 1926 state highway plan as a route from AR 17 near McCrory north to AR 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 U.S. Highway 62 between Rogers and Gateway and Highway 37 between Gateway and the Missouri State Line. Running a distance of approximately 18miles, its southern terminus was at the intersection of U.S. Route 71 (aka 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 U.S. 62 was designated in Arkansas in 1930, Highway 47 was truncated to the NaNmiles segment from Gateway to the Missouri state line where it continued as 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]
