→New York State Route 22A (NY 22A) is a short north–south state highway located within Washington County, New York, in the United States. The route extends for 10.6 miles (17.1 km) from an intersection with NY 22 in the town of Granville to the Vermont state line in the town of Hampton, where it becomes Vermont Route 22A (VT 22A). NY 22A was originally designated as New York State Route 286 in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It was renumbered to its current designation in the early 1940s.

[edit] Route description
Route 22A begins at an intersection with NY 22 in the town of Granville. The route heads to the north, passing through downtown Granville, which is full of residential homes and the high school. After the intersection with County Route 24 (CR 24), Route 22A begins a stretch of 9 miles (14 km) through the farmlands and forests of rural New York. At the intersection with CR 21, Route 22A curves to the northeast and enters Raceville. Raceville is small, as Route 22A leaves uneventfully. The highway heads to the northeast, edging closer to the Vermont state line.[4]
Route 22A makes a curve to the northwest after an intersection with a county road. The road then passes through a dense forest, entering the town of Hampton. There it intersects with two county roads before leaving the town. A few miles later, Route 22A passes the state line and continues into Vermont as VT 22A.[4]
[edit] History
What is now NY 22A was first designated as NY 286 as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It began at NY 22 in Middle Granville and went north to the Vermont state line, where it continued as VT 30A.[5] Ca. 1938, an alternate route of NY 286 along modern CR 20 and Greenfield Lane in Hampton and Granville, College, and York streets in Poultney, Vermont, was designated as NY 286A in New York and VT 286A in that state.[6][7] The New York half of the designation was short-lived as it was eliminated by the following year;[8] however, VT 286A remained in place until the early 1940s.[1][9] NY 286 was renumbered to NY 22A at some point between 1942 and 1944;[1][2] Vermont followed suit by renumbering VT 30A to VT 22A by 1946.[10]
