History
The origins of NY 111 date back to 1914 when the state of New York awarded a contract on July 29 to improve a 9.56-mile (15.39 km) highway in the towns of Islip and Smithtown to state highway standards.[4] The road covered by the project began at Main Street in East Islip and headed north on Carleton Avenue and Wheeler Road to Hauppauge, from where it continued northeast to Village of the Branch via Hauppauge Road.[5] Reconstruction of the road cost $263,359 (equivalent to $4.79 million in 2024), and the rebuilt road was added to the state highway system on June 1, 1922, as unsigned State Highway 1208 (SH 1208).[4][6] In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, hundreds of state-maintained highways were assigned a posted route designation for the first time. One of these was SH 1208, which became NY 111.[2]
On September 13, 1966, the New York State Department of Public Works realigned NY 111 south of Hauppauge to follow a slightly more westerly alignment to the
