History edit
The State Route 379 designation was assigned in 1935. Originally, the highway was a spur route, running along its current alignment from its present northern terminus at State Route 147 southwesterly to the northwestern Monroe County hamlet of Calais.[2][3] Two years later, State Route 379 was extended to the southwest from Calais to end at its present southern terminus at State Route 78.[5][6]
