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. Two years later, State Route 379 was extended to the southwest from Calais to end at its present southern terminus at State Route 78.
