[edit] History

NY 99 was assigned in the 1930 renumbering to a previously unnumbered roadway between then-NY 10 in Duane and NY 3 in Franklin.[3] Although it was signed as a state highway, maintenance on NY 99 was performed by Franklin County, which designated the roadway as County Route 26.[4][5] The NY 99 designation was removed from CR 26 on September 26, 1994.[2] Locally, there are signs that still refer to the road as NY 99.
