[edit] History

Route 305 ending at the state line in Portville. Route 446 in Pennsylvania has its first signage ahead

The portion of modern NY 305 north of Portville was originally designated as NY 94 as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. At the same time, what is now NY 45 in Rockland County was designated as NY 305.[4] The NY 94 and NY 305 designations were swapped in the early 1940s, placing NY 305 on its current alignment from Portville to Belfast.[2][3] South of Portville, what is now NY 305 was originally designated as part of NY 16 in the early 1930s.[4][5] It was added to NY 305 in the early 1960s when NY 16 was rerouted south of Olean to follow what had been NY 16A.[6][7]
