History
NY 443 roughly follows an 18th-century trail of the Mohawk Indians from the Hudson River to Schoharie Valley.[citation needed] It was probably a few years before 1787 when Stephen Van Rensselaer III had it upgraded and straightened slightly to make it accessible by wagons.[citation needed] Before that the settlers in the Beaver Dam as the Town of Berne is now known, had to go by way of the wagon road from Altamont, through what is now Knox, to the Schoharie Valley.[citation needed]
In the mid-1920s, the entirety of modern NY 443 was designated as part of
