Suffolk County Road 80 was transferred to Montauk Highway from the Nesconset-Port Jefferson Highway in 1966, when that road was acquired by the New York State Department of Transportation and designated New York State Route 347. The designation was shared with NY 27A until that designation was eliminated in 1972, except in the vicinity of Shinnecock Hills, and Southhampton. In the 1980s, Suffolk CR 80 was eliminated from East and West Main Street in the Village of Patchogue. The same situation occurred in the Village of Southampton, where the SR 27A designation was completely removed from the road, and the Suffolk CR 80 designation truncated to the village line (the spot is marked simply by an "End Suffolk County 80" sign along Montauk Highway east of the Shinnecock Canal.


Between the east end of Suffolk CR 98 and the west end of Suffolk CR 71, Suffolk County Department of Public Works had planned to widen the road from two lanes to four lanes.
