Prior to about 1963, CR 507 had a different route between North Arlington and Ridgewood. From the intersection of Schuyler Avenue and Belleville Turnpike, it followed CR 130, NJ 17, CR 32, CR 55, NJ 17, CR 62, and CR 80 to the intersection of Maple Avenue and Ridgewood Avenue. From that point north to the state line, it followed its current alignment.
Today’s CR 507 has absorbed large sections of CR 69 (from the Belleville Pike to Maple Ave in Fair Lawn); CR 77 (Maple Ave from Fair Lawn to Ho-Ho-Kus); and CR 62 (Franklin Turnpike from Maple Ave to the New York state line). These stretches are logged below, rather than with their original numbers.
