History
NY 241 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. At the time, it began at NY 17 (modern NY 394) in the village of Randolph and ended at NY 18 (now NY 353) in Dayton. US 62 was extended into New York c. 1932. From Conewango to Dayton, US 62 initially overlapped NY 241. The overlap was eliminated in the late 1940s when NY 241 was truncated southward to its junction with US 62 in Conewango.
