New York State Route 11C (NY 11C) is a short

overlaps with NY 420
in Winthrop. Although NY 11C follows a mostly east–west routing, it was signed as a north–south route until the 2010s.

The current alignment of NY 11C was originally part of US 11. An alternate route of then-US 11 between Stockholm Center and Coteys Corner that bypassed the Brasher Falls area to the south was added to the state highway system on September 1, 1982, and designated as NY 11C. The alignments of US 11 and NY 11C between the two hamlets were flipped on June 13, 1992, placing both routes on their current routings.

When the first set of posted routes in

hamlets of Stockholm Center, Winthrop, Brasher Falls, North Lawrence, and Cotey Corners.[5] NY 2 was renumbered to US 11 in 1927.[6] On September 1, 1982, ownership and maintenance of CR 110, a county road extending from Stockholm Center to Coteys Corner on a direct east–west routing, was transferred from St. Lawrence County to the state of New York as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government and the village of Canton.[2][7][8] The new state highway was initially designated as NY 11C.[9] On June 13, 1992, the alignments of US 11 and NY 11C between Stockholm Center and Coteys Corner were swapped, placing both routes on their modern alignments.[10][11]
