[edit] History

The portion of modern NY 305 north of Portville was originally designated as New York State Route 94 as part of the 1930 renumbering.[4] At the same time, what is now NY 45 in Rockland County was designated as NY 305.[5] The NY 94 and NY 305 designations were swapped in the 1940s, placing NY 305 on its current alignment from Portville to Belfast.[2][3]

South of Portville, what is now NY 305 was originally designated as part of NY 16 in the early to mid-1930s.[4][6] It was added to NY 305 when NY 16's entire routing south of Olean was relocated westward in the early 1960s.[7][8]
