[edit] History notes

From the statewide PennDOT historical maps unless otherwise noted.

  • 1911 - LR 209 established, Warren to Custer City via Cornplanter; LR 101 established, Smethport to Coudersport via Port Allegany (a PA location spelling it "Allegany"? wow)
  • by 1930 - LR 209 signed as PA 59, as is the Smethport-Port Allegany portion of LR 101. Between Custer City and Smethport it uses modern 770, 646, and 59
  • by 1950 - truncated to Smethport on its eastern end
  • by 1960 - rerouted between Marshburg and Ormsby to follow modern alignment
  • by 1970 - rerouted near Kinzua due to inundation near Cornplanter; entire route on current alignment
