[edit] Route description

Route 22A begins at an intersection with NY 22 in the town of Granville. The route heads to the north, passing through downtown Granville, which is full of residential homes and the high school. After the intersection with Washington County Route 24, Route 22A begins a stetch of 9 miles through the farmlands and forests of rural New York. At the intersection with County Route 21, Route 22A curves to the northeast and enters Raceville. Raceville is small, as Route 22A leaves uneventfully. The highway heads to the northest, edging closer to the Vermont state line.[4]

Route 22A makes a curve to the northwest after an intersection with a county road. The road then passes through a dense forest, entering the town of Hampton. There it intersects with two county roads before leaving the town. A few miles later, Route 22A passes the state line and continues into Vermont.[4]

[edit] History

The route was first designated as New York State Route 286 in the 1930 state highway renumbering,[5] from Middle Granville to the Vermont state line, where it continued as Vermont Route 30A. The NY 22A designation was assigned sometime between 1946 and 1950,[2][3] with the renumbering coordinated with Vermont.
