First signed in 1918, it was named after the village of Liberty, New York.[2]Through New Jersey and New York, the route of the Liberty Highway was designated as Route\u00a017. Today, much of these routes have been bypassed by freeways, most notably by Interstate 86. Throughout much of the Catskills and the Southern Tier of New York, old portions of the road are still named Liberty Highway or Old Route\u00a017.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]First routing[5][edit]Manhattan[edit]New Jersey[edit]New York[edit]Rockland County[edit]Orange County[edit]Sullivan County[edit]Delaware County[edit]Broome County[edit]Tioga County[edit]Chemung County[edit]Steuben County[edit]Allegany County[edit]Cattaraugus County[edit]Chautauqua County[edit]Pennsylvania[edit]Ohio[edit]Later additions[edit]Chautauqua Branch[edit]Little Valley Loop[edit]Bath Loop[edit]Watkins Glen Loop[edit]Susquehanna River South Bank Loop[edit]Port Jervis Loop[edit]Hudson River East Bank Loop[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]History[edit]The moniker “Liberty Highway” was first given by R. H. Johnson, who was the manager of the New York branch of the White Motorcar Company. Because well-known highways like the Liberty Highway were clogged with traffic, he studied maps and found a more direct route through the Southern Tier, which was better maintained and far less traveled. He christened it after Liberty, New York, through which the route travels, and to the “spirit of the times”.[2]Johnson first published his route in Motor Age Magazine. Further publicity was brought by other publications, and a film commissioned by Johnson.[3] The Liberty Highway Association was formed in 1919 to further promote the route.[4]Beginning with the designation of Route 17 over the highway in New York in 1924, the Liberty Highway label began to fall out of fashion, though it was still being advertised as late as 1928 by the AAA. When Route 17 began to be upgraded to a freeway, the Liberty Highway was long forgotten.[3]First routing[5][edit]  Original map of Liberty Highway routeManhattan[edit]New Jersey[edit]New York[edit]Rockland County[edit]Orange County[edit]Sullivan County[edit]Delaware County[edit]Broome County[edit]Tioga County[edit]Chemung County[edit]Steuben County[edit]New York State Route 352, Chemung County Line to Corning TownOld State Avenue, College Avenue, Corning Town to CorningMarket Street, Pine Street Bridge, Center Way, CorningNew York State Route 415, Corning to Painted PostNew York State Route 417\u2020, Painted Post to JasperNew York State Route 36\u2020, Jasper to HornellNew York State Route 21\u2020, Hornell to Allegany County LineAlmond Road, Hornell to HornellsvilleAllegany County[edit]New York State Route 21\u2020, Steuben County Line to AndoverOld Whitney Road, AlmondWhitford Road, Almond to Alfred TownShaw Road, Alfred to Alfred StationHardy Hill Road, Water Street, Main Street, through AndoverNew York State Route\u00a0417\u2020, Andover to WellsvilleJackson Road, Dyke Road, AndoverState Street, Main Street, WellsvilleNew York State Route 19\u2020, Wellsville to BelvidereAllegany County Route 20, Belvidere to CubaHubble Hill Road, Cuba TownMain Street, CubaNew York State Route 305, CubaNew York State Route 446, Cuba to Cattaraugus County LineCattaraugus County[edit]New York State Route 446, Allegany County Line to HinsdaleNew York State Route 16, Hinsdale to OleanOld Route 16, Main Street, HinsdaleOld Route 16, Main Street, OleanNew York State Route\u00a0417\u2020, Olean to JimersontownFirst Street, Creekside Drive, Old State Road, Blair Road, AlleganyCenter Street, Front Avenue, SalamancaNew York State Reference Route\u00a0951T\u2020, Jimersontown to SteamburgThe former Liberty Highway still exists but is closed to traffic between Red House and SteamburgChautauqua County[edit]New York State Route 394, Cattaraugus County Line to JamestownCarter Street, Lindquist Street, PolandSecond Street, Third Street, Washington Street, JamestownNew York State Route 430\u2020, Jamestown to MayvilleNew York State Route 394\u2020, Mayville to WestfieldU.S. Route 20, Westfield to Pennsylvania Line at RipleyOld Route 20, Forsyth Road, RipleyPennsylvania[edit]Ohio[edit]U.S. Route 20, Pennsylvania Line at Conneaut to ClevelandOld Main Street, Main Street, ConneautState Road, 46th Street, Edgewood46th Street, Main Avenue, Center Street, AshtabulaWest Main Street, GenevaRed Mill Valley Road, North PerryOhio Route 640, Willoughby to WillowickOhio Route 283, Willowick to ClevelandSaint Claire Avenue, 9th Street, Superior Avenue, ClevelandSecond-order bullet points indicate parts of the main route that were re-routed as the highway was upgraded\u2020Former routing of New York State Route\u00a017.
