[edit] History

The original NY 392 ran between Ithaca and Varna in Tompkins County, but was decommissioned in the early 1970s. It ran along University Avenue from downtown Ithaca to Lake Street, then east to the Cornell University campus. On campus, Lake Street becomes Forest Home Drive and runs alongside Fall Creek. NY-392 followed Forest Home Drive through the hamlet of Forest Home northeast of campus to NY-366 in Varna.

Present-day NY 392 (from Virgil to Messengerville) was originally part of New York State Route 90, before NY 90's length in Cortland County was scaled back in the early 1980s. Reference markers along this stretch of NY 392 still carry the 90 designation.
