[edit] History

The modern routing of NY 186 was originally designated as part of NY 10 when state highways in New York were first signed in 1924.[4][5] In the 1930 renumbering, NY 10 was rerouted east of Lake Clear to follow modern NY 30 north to the Canadian border. The former routing of NY 10 between Lake Clear and Harrietstown was incorporated into NY 86, a new route extending from Lake Clear to Jay.[6] NY 86 remained on this alignment until March 28, 1989, when the NY 192 designation was deleted.[2] NY 86 was then rerouted to follow the former routing of NY 192 northwestward to Paul Smiths. The Lake Clear–Harrietstown roadway, vacated by NY 86, was redesignated as NY 186.[3][7]
