History
NY 281 was assigned c. 1931 to the portion of its alignment between NY 90 in the village of Homer and the hamlet of Preble. In the vicinity of Preble, it initially used modern County Routes 108A and 108B to reach U.S. Route 11. The route was extended northward along the western edge of Tully Lake c. 1933, following Song Lake and Long Roads to a junction with NY 80 west of Tully Center. It was extended southward to NY 13 in the town of Cortlandville at some point between 1934 and 1940. In the late 1940s, construction began on a new highway between Preble and Tully Center that bypassed Preble and Tully Lake to the east. It was completed by 1949, at which time it became part of a realigned NY 281.
