History
The state legislature created SR-142 in 1933, connecting SR-69 (now SR-30) at Petersboro with Newton and Smithfield. SR-142 was moved to the present route to Clarkston in 1941, with the old alignment through downtown Newton to Smithfield becoming SR-218. State Route 164 was also defined in 1933, running south from Petersboro to US-91 in Wellsville. Two years later, State Route 192 was created, running north from SR-142 (now SR-218) east of Newton to SR-61 in Cornish. That part of SR-61 had been added in 1931, heading both east to Cove and north to Idaho. In 1953, SR-164 and SR-192 were combined with SR-142 south of Newton, SR-218 through Newton, and SR-61 north of Cornish to create State Route 23.
