New York State Route 424 (also known as NY 424) was a minor north-south thoroughfare in the village of Cassadaga in Chautauqua County. The route started at New York State Route 380 (now CR 380) in Stockton, headed to the northeast, entering the village of Cassadaga. There it terminated at New York State Route 60. The route was transferred to the county in April 1980 as part of a large maintenance swap that year between New York and Chautauqua County. The route was replaced by Chautauqua County Route 58 and expanded southwestward to Hartfield when the route went into effect in August.

[edit] Route description

Northern terminus of CR 58, and the former northern terminus of NY 424, at NY 60 in Cassadaga.

Route 424 began at an intersection with Route 380 in downtown Stockton. The area around it was mainly forests and residential, heading in a northeastern direction up Stockton Hill. Route 424 intersected with Nelson Hill Road, which it curved around, before intersecting once again. Route 424 passed fields along the way, under the designation Stockton Hill Road. After a short curve to the north, the highway turned to the northeast at the intersection with Putnam Road (County Road 71). Route 424 began to enter the limits of Cassadaga, passing homes and a small pond. The highway passed to the south of Lower Lake, terminating at an intersection with NY 60.^[4]

[edit] History

Route 424 was assigned by 1935 along the routing that remained intact until 1980.^[3] On April 1, 1980, a large mantainanence swap between the state of New York and Chauataqua County. Routes that were given to the county included nearby New York State Route 380 and New York State Route 428, along with 2 reference routes. The state, in return, received control of New York State Route 394, U.S. Route 62, and New York State Route 60. The state also got control of what is now unsigned NY 952P in Forestville.^[5] Route 424 was replaced by an extended County Route 58 in August of that year.^[6]
