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.
