History
NY 213 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. Originally, NY 213 began at NY 28 at the west end of the Ashokan Reservoir in Boiceville and followed what is now NY 28A southeastward around the reservoir to Olivebridge. Here, it turned onto its modern alignment and proceeded eastward to Rosendale, initially the junction of NY 213 and NY 376, a north–south connector between Rosendale and Dashville. The route continued northeast from Rosendale on modern NY 32 to Kingston, where it ended in the western portion of the city. At the time, the segment of modern NY 213 between Dashville and Kingston was part of NY 32. NY 213 was truncated c. 1933 to its current western terminus in Olivebridge and rerouted east of Rosendale to follow NY 376 and NY 32 to Kingston. The former alignment of NY 213 north of Rosendale became part of a realigned NY 32.
