History
A majority of today's Route 417 was part of the 1924 Route 17, between Olean and Wellsville and between Andover and Jasperwar but no route numbered highway. In the renumbering in 1930 route of NY 17 was routed between Salamanca and Corning. He corresponded after today's NY 417
NY 417 was originally issued for a shorter road in Otsego County in Otego. As the Southern Tier Expressway, the nearing completion, sections of the former two-lane NY 17 were partially reallocated to NY 417, first between 1970 Steam Castle and Salamanca in Chautauqua County. Ironically, this first section is now no longer part of NY 417, as the traffic was stopped on this road within the Allegany Reservation.
In 1980, NY 417 was completely replaced on the current line between Allegany and Corning moved NY 17. The route which extended west to its current terminus in between Salamanca in 1980 and 1989.

The former route of the NY 417 Steam Castle to Salamanca is now listed as New York State Route 951T, a non -marked reference path. Physically, the road still exists, but it is partially blocked because the possibility exists that at a high water level in the Allegheny Reservoir, the road is flooded. Enable vehicles are only two short sections, a 750 m long stump east of the intersection with I- 86, NY 17 and NY 394 in Cold Spring and the eastern, 5.7 km long section of the City of Salamanca by from the west leads.
