History
In 1912, the New York State Legislature created Route 37-a,[3] an unsigned legislative route extending from Route 25 (now NY 50) in the village of Ballston Spa to Route 37 (modern NY 29) in the town of Galway by way of Scotch Church and the village of Galway.[4] The portion of Route 37-a between Scotch Church and NY 29 north of Galway village became the northern half of NY 147, a new route extending from Scotia to Galway, as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. NY 147 has remained unchanged since that time.[1]
