History

NY 226 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York to the portion of its modern alignment northeast of

. The portion of the

near Savona and south of exit 40 was built in the late 1960s and completed by 1971. U.S. Route 15, at the time the designation for the highway, left the expressway at its end west of Savona and followed West Lamoka Avenue into the village to rejoin its original alignment in the center of Savona. An extension of the expressway northward from Savona was open by 1973 and became part of a realigned US 15. The portion of West Lamoka Avenue from exit 40 to Coopers–Bath Road in Savona became part of an extended NY 226 on July 1, 1974.
