History

An alternate route of U.S. Route 9 between Malta and Saratoga Springs by way of the eastern shore of Saratoga Lake was originally designated as NY 9X in the early 1930s. Its designation was a numerical duplication of U.S. Route 9X, an alternate route of US 9 in New York City that was assigned in December 1934. By 1938, NY 9X was redesignated as NY 9P and US 9X was reassigned NY 9X.
