Route description
SR 237 begins at SR 25 in Gorham, two miles (3.2 km) east of downtown. The route runs northwest, passing through the center of town and crossing over U.S. Route 202 (US 202) / SR 4. SR 237 continues northwest and crosses into the northeastern corner of Standish. The highway immediately terminates at SR 35 near Sebago Lake.
SR 237 runs parallel to, and northeast of, SR 114 (of which SR 237 is a former alignment) over its entire length.[2]
History
SR 237 was originally designated State Route 95 in 1946 over part of a former alignment of SR 114, which now runs parallel to the southwest. It was approximately 10 miles (16 km) in length and similar to the modern route.[3] Following the designation of Interstate 95 in 1957, SR 95 became a duplicate numbering and was subsequently renumbered to SR 237.[4]
