New York State Route 420 (NY 420) is a north–south
hamlet of Winthrop

NY 420 was originally part of Route 32, an unsigned
NY 56 in the mid-1920s; however, NY 56 was realigned in 1927 to follow a new alignment well to the south of Winthrop. The former routing of NY 56 between Winthrop and Massena was redesignated as NY 420 as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York
