Florida State Road 37
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Road 37 is a state highway which runs from Lakeland, Florida south to the intersection with State Road 62, near Duette, Florida. The road primarily runs through Polk County, with small sections in Hillsborough and Manatee counties. The road was originally built to provide easy access between Bradenton (via State Road 62) and Lakeland, although after the construction of Interstate 75 and Interstate 4, this route was no longer the quickest route. The road is signed as South Florida Avenue in Lakeland and Church Avenue in Mulberry
From the northern terminus at West Main Street in Lakeland until it reaches a junction with State Road 60 (Florida) the road is an important one, serving as the north/south dividing line on the street grids of both Lakeland and Mulberry. From south of Mulberry until its southern terminus at State Road 62, the road turns in a more southwesterly direction and becomes a lonely stretch of road with oak hammocks and occasional phosphate mines. After passing through a small sliver of Hillsborough County (the area known as "Four Corners" locally), the area then goes through Manatee County for a couple of miles before terminating at the junction with State Road 62 near the tiny town of Duette.
