History
In 1908, the New York State Legislature created Route 16, an unsigned legislative route that initially extended from Cuba to Rochester via Fillmore, Warsaw, and Le Roy. At the time, Route 16 utilized modern NY 19 between Fillmore and Rock Glen, a hamlet south of Warsaw. On March 1, 1921, the route was realigned between the two locations to use current NY 19A instead. However, when NY 62 was assigned to most of legislative Route 16 between Belfast and Pavilion in the mid-1920s, it utilized the pre-1921 routing of Route 16 via Pike. The post-1921 alignment of legislative Route 16 between Fillmore and Rock Glen via Silver Springs remained unnumbered until the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York when it became NY 19A, an alternate route of the newly-assigned NY 19, itself renumbered from NY 62.
