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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.”
—Erma Brombeck (20th century)
“When the history of this period is written, [William Jennings] Bryan will stand out as one of the most remarkable men of his generation and one of the biggest political men of our country.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
