History
The entire length of NY 488 was once part of NY 88. Prior to its truncation to its current southern terminus, NY 88 traveled west out of Phelps, overlapping route 96 before turning south onto present-day NY 488. NY 88 then ran the length of route 488 to route 21, where routes 21 and 88 overlap to Canandaigua.[3] NY 88 then ended at NY 332.[4]
