History
NY 128 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. In the mid-1930s, NY 128 was extended southward to the Connecticut state line by way of an overlap with NY 22 and Greenwich Road. It was truncated back to its current southern terminus in the early 1970s. The former routing of NY 128 south of NY 22 was redesignated as NY 433.
