History
State Route 823 was designated as a state route in 1929, a year after the mass commissioning of state traffic routes in Pennsylvania. However, unlike most 800s and 900s highway designations, SR 823 did not have a parent highway. Instead, it was just a spur off U.S. Route 219 (former SR 10). The state route designation, however, did not last long, being decommissioned just three years after its assignment in 1932. The route is now designated and signed by PennDOT as McKean County State Route 4001, which extended the state designation from Big Shanty down to nearby Pennsylvania Route 59.
