History
What is now NY 189 was originally taken over by the state of New York in the late 1920s.[5][6] Work to improve the highway to state highway standards began around this time and was completed c. 1930.[2][6] In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, several of the routes assigned during the 1920s were renumbered or modified. At the same time, hundreds of state-maintained highways that did not yet have a route number were assigned one.[7] One of these was the north–south highway connecting US 11 to the Canada–US border via Churubusco, which was designated as NY 189.[2][6] The route has not been altered since that time.[8][9]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Clinton, Clinton County.
