1911 - LR 209 established, Warren to Custer City via Cornplanter; LR 101 established, Smethport to Coudersport via Port Allegany (a PA location spelling it "Allegany"? wow)
by 1930 - LR 209 signed as PA 59, as is the Smethport-Port Allegany portion of LR 101. Between Custer City and Smethport it uses modern 770, 646, and 59
