History
NY 123 was first designated in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York as a continuation of the road leading north from Norwalk, Connecticut. The original route began in Vista, as it does today, but extended past its current northern end, heading west along modern NY 35 to NY 121 in the hamlet of Cross River. It was extended further westward over current NY 35 to NY 22 in Katonah c. 1940. Modern NY 35 in Westchester County was created in the early 1940s, at which time NY 123 was cut back to its current northern terminus.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history is to be read and written.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
