History
NY 81 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It originally began at U.S. Route 9W in the town of Coxsackie and ended at NY 30 in the village of Middleburgh. Along the way, it intersected NY 145, which ended at NY 81 in the hamlet of Cooksburg.[1][3] NY 81 was truncated to Cooksburg ca. 1938, and its former routing to Middleburgh became an extension of NY 145.[4][5]
