History

NY 190 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to an east–west highway extending from NY 374 in The Forge to US 11 in Ellenburg by way of Ellenburg Center. On April 1, 1980, ownership and maintenance of NY 190 from NY 374 eastward to its junction with Star Road southwest of Ellenburg was transferred from the state of

counties as part of a pair of highway maintenance swaps between the state and the two counties. In return, the state assumed maintenance of Star Road, an east–west road linking NY 374 in Brainardsville to NY 190, and Military Turnpike, a highway connecting Ellenburg to NY 3 in the town of Plattsburgh. Both highways became part of a reconfigured NY 190, which now began in Brainardsville and ended west of the city of Plattsburgh. As a result of the realignment, NY 190 no longer directly connected to US 11 in Ellenburg; instead, the connection was now made by way of NY 971L, an unsigned reference route. The former routing of NY 190 west of Star Road is designated as CR 54 in Franklin County and CR 5 in Clinton County.
