NY 101 was assigned c. 1931 while the county route continuations were assigned in 1959. CR 101 was initially signed; however, signage for the route was removed in 1973. In the 1960s, a proposal was made to construct an expressway, known as the Western Nassau Expressway. This expressway would have extended from NY 27 to NY 101 and utilized the NY 101 corridor north of NY 25A. The proposal was shelved in the 1970s.
