New York State Route 250 (NY 250) is a north–south
Most of the highway was taken over by the state of New York in the 1910s and 1920s. In 1908, the section of modern NY 250 in Fairport between Church and High Streets became part of Route 20, an unsigned legislative route assigned by the New York State Legislature. The definition of the route was altered in 1921, taking the route on a more southerly course that used the portion of what is now NY 250 between NY 31 and NY 31F instead through eastern Monroe County. NY 250 was assigned to its current alignment as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.

History
State ownership
Most of what is now NY 250 was originally taken over by the state of
South of Fairport, the section from modern NY 31 north to the Fairport village line was added on January 19, 1916, following a nearly $17,127 (equivalent to $479,556 in 2024) project to improve the road.[5][6] Lastly, the portion south of modern NY 31 was added in the late 1920s.[7][8] The four state-maintained segments were legislatively designated, but not signed, as State Highways 574, 574A, 1290,[5] and 1836, respectively, for inventory purposes. The section of current NY 250 in Fairport between the southern village line and Liftbridge Lane was never taken over by the state and is village-maintained.[9]
Designation
In 1908, the New York State Legislature created Route 20, an unsigned legislative route extending from Elbridge to Rochester via Fairport. Initially, Route 20 entered the village on High Street and followed Main Street south across the Erie Canal to Church Street, where it turned west toward Rochester.[5][10] On March 1, 1921, Route 20 was realigned to enter Monroe County on modern NY 31. At the junction of Palmyra and Moseley Roads, Route 20 turned north, following SH 1290 into Fairport. It rejoined its original alignment at the junction of Church and Main Streets.[11] None of SH 1290 received a signed designation when the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned in 1924.[12]
SH 1290 was not assigned a signed designation until the
