History
The construction of future NY 17F was divided into multiple parts, the construction of the road between
Addison village and the hamlet of
Rathbone and one between Rathbone and
the town of Canisteo. The first section constructed was the stretch between Addison and Rathbone, with construction beginning in 1921. The contract was signed to Frank J. Foote, Inc for construction of the new road. By October 1921, the new road was constructed a mile (1.6 km) from the village of Addison to Baldwin Cemetery. The project was not without its controversy. In July 1922, six workers went on strike after the contractor did not meet their demands to raise wages from 35¢; an hour to 40¢. The strikers amounting to six would make it appear to the contractor that a change of heart was had by most of the workers. The company stated that if they all had struck, there might have been a raise in wage, but not with the lack of workers. The new road was about complete in August 1922, with the exception of the tarva top that would go on the roads. By August 10, the road was completed with a speculated opening date of September 1, 1922. By November 1922, the road was open to traffic.
When state highways were first numbered in New York in 1924,
NY 17 originally followed a different, more northerly alignment between

. NY 17 was rerouted in the
1930 renumbering to follow a previously unnumbered direct route between Andover and Jasper while the old routing between Andover and Hornell became NY 17F.
NY 17F also continued south along NY 21 (which replaced NY 17 from Hornell to Jasper) to
Canisteo, then east over an unnumbered roadway to NY 17 in
Addison

(via
Cameron and
Rathbone).
NY 17F remained unchanged until the early 1940s when the route was removed from the state highway system. The portion between Andover and Hornell became an extension of NY 36 while the short segment between Myers Creek southeast of Rathbone and Addison became NY 432.
The remainder of Canisteo River Road from Canisteo to Rathbone became CR 119.
NY 432 was decommissioned on September 12, 1950. NY 432 was restored between 1970 and 1978, and stayed intact up to April 1, 1997, when a large-scale highway swap between the
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and
Steuben County eventually resulted in the transfer of NY 432 to the county. In exchange for assuming maintenance over
