New York State Route 127 (NY 127) is a 6.36-mile (10.24 km) north–south state highway in Westchester County, New York, in the United States. It begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 1 (US 1) in the village of Mamaroneck and ends at an interchange with Interstate 287 (I-287) in the city of White Plains. The route also connects to the Hutchinson River Parkway in the town of Harrison. NY 127 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York; however, parts of the road had been state-maintained since the 1910s. Within White Plains, NY 127 is maintained by Westchester County as County Route 30 (CR 30). The concurrent county route designation is unsigned, as are all county routes in Westchester County.

History
The state-maintained section of NY 127 was initially improved by the state of New York as part of two projects carried out in the 1910s. On March 17, 1910, the state awarded a contract to improve the 2.91-mile (4.68 km) segment of what is now NY 127 leading south from the White Plains–Harrison line. The rebuilt road was added to the state highway system on July 31, 1911, as State Highway 780 (SH 780). The remainder of the modern state-maintained segment of NY 127 was reconstructed as part of a contract let on September 28, 1916, to reconstruct 3.81 miles (6.13 km) of roads in Harrison and Rye. The rebuilt roads were accepted into the state highway system on December 21, 1921, as SH 1457. Both state highway numbers are unsigned.[5] SH 780 and its southward continuation to US 1 in Mamaroneck did not receive a posted route number until the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York when both roads became part of NY 127, a new route continuing north into White Plains to Westchester Avenue. The route's alignment has remained unchanged since that time.[2]
