[edit] Route description

NY 274 begins at an intersection with NY 365 in the village of Holland Patent, north of the Nine Mile Creek. The highway heads north on Steuben Street, and enters the hamlet of East Floyd. After several erratic turns and intersections with numerous local streets, Route 274 executes a sharp turn to the west into Steuben. After passing through the hamlet of Big Brook, the route passes between two large hills and comes to an end at NY 46 at the hamlet of Frenchville in the town of Western.

[edit] History

The entirety of NY 274 was originally designated as part of New York State Route 46A, an alternate route of NY 46 between Rome and the Western hamlet of Frenchville, in the early-to-mid 1930s. Between Rome and Holland Patent, NY 46A overlapped NY 365.[4][5] The route remained unchanged until the 1950s when it was truncated to Holland Patent on its southern end and renumbered to NY 274.[2][3]
