[edit] History

PA 199 was once signed elsewhere, in Erie County between PA 5 and US 20 from 1928, until the mid-1960s, when it was decommissioned.[3][4] In 1974, the route number was used again, mostly on the old alignment of US 220 through the 3 towns that it went through once the US 220 bypass was complete.
