History
PA 426 was established in 1928, in Bedford County, northwest of Breezewood, as a short spur of Pennsylvania Route 26. By 1940, the designation was removed. The route existed on what is today the southernmost segment of Pennsylvania Route 36.
In the 1930s and 1940s, what is now PA 426, had many designations. The northern segment of route had no number in the 1930s. From Garland to Spring Creek, the route was Pennsylvania Route 77. From Spring Creek to Corry, it was designated as Pennsylvania Route 177. From the city of Corry to the New York state line, Pennsylvania Route 189 ran on PA 426.
By 1950, the route was commissioned along where it mostly runs today. The only exception was the southernmost segment of PA 426, which was still designated as PA 77 from Spring Creek to Garland.
By 1980, the southernmost section was redesignated from PA 77.
