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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
