Route description

NY 230 begins at an intersection with NY 54 in Keuka, a hamlet within the town of Wayne situated about 8 miles (13 km) north of Hammondsport. NY 54 runs generally west–southwest to northeast in this area. The intersection is angled such that NY 230 runs south–southwest from the intersection. It immediately climbs Keuka Hill and loops around until it runs east–west. It turns southeast before crossing into Schuyler County and into the Tyrone hamlet of Wayne north of Waneta Lake.

Very little of NY 230 is located inside of Schuyler County as the route merely cuts across the northwestern corner of the county to access Yates County and the town of Barrington within. The highway continues to run generally to the northeast until it meets its terminus at NY 14A west of Dundee.

History

In 1908, the New York State Legislature created Route 13, an unsigned legislative route extending from Bath to Dundee via modern NY 54, Steuben County Routes 87 and 88, and NY 230.[3][4] On March 1, 1921, Route 13 was reassigned elsewhere in the state as part of a partial renumbering of New York's legislative route system.[5] NY 230, meanwhile, was assigned in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to its current alignment from NY 54A (now NY 54) in Wayne to NY 14A near Dundee.[1][6] The route was extended eastward along NY 14A and Dundee–Lakemont Road to NY 14 east of Dundee ca. 1932,[7][8] but truncated back to NY 14A west of Dundee in the early 1940s.[9][10] A short spur connecting NY 230 to Steuben County Route 87 in Tyrone, formerly part of legislative Route 13, is designated as NY 961L, an unsigned reference route.[11]
