[edit] Route description
Route 322 begins at an intersection with Route 83 and Chautauqua County Route 87 in Balcom. The route then goes eastward, through fields and residential homes. Route 322 makes a turn to the southeast, passing a large field near the intersection with Smiths Mill Road (CR 93). After that, Route 322 enters the hamlet of Skunks Corners (now in Cattaraugus County) and soon after, the village of South Dayton. There, the region around the highway becomes more populated with more homes, and several businesses. After several intersections with local roads, Route 322 leaves South Dayton and turns to the east again.[2]
The region around Route 322 is very rural again, changing names to Dexters Corners Road before terminating at an intersection with U.S. Route 62 in Dayton.[2]
[edit] History
Route 322 was assigned in its entirety by 1935.[3] However, the Cattaraugus County portion was maintained by the county as County Route 3 and villaged maintained in South Dayton.[4] This was traded over to the state in a 1980 maintenance swap between the state of New York and Cattaraugus County.[5]
