Orange County Board of Supervisors, May 12, 1950

RESOLUTION TAKING OVER AS CENTRAL VALLEY-CORNWALL COUNTY ROAD NO. 9, PART 3, A CERTAIN STATE HIGHWAY HERETOFORE ABANDONED TO THE COUNTY AND A PORTION OF A CERTAIN STATE HIGHWAY HERETOFORE ABANDONED TO THE TOWN OF CORNWALL, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 6 OF THE HIGHWAY LAW.

WHEREAS, by certain official orders dated January 29, 1942, pursuant to legislative authority the State Superintendent of Public Works abandoned and turned over to the County of Orange for future maintenance and repair a certain portion of former State Highway No. 415 located in the Town of Cornwall;

AND WHEREAS, by the said orders he also turned over to the Town of Cornwall a certain portion of State Highway No. 1838 the most easterly end of which is located between the southerly end of the said State Highway 415 and the northerly end of Central Valley-Cornwall County Road No. 9, Part 2;

AND WHEREAS, there is a small section of town road of the Town of Cornwall located between the said former State Highway No. 1838 and the northerly end of the said Central Valley-Cornwall County Road No. 9, Part 2, which should be taken over by the county for improvement.

RESOLVED that the County of Orange hereby takes over and designates as Central Valley-Cornwall County Road No. 9, Part 3, all that certain highway described as follows:

BEGINNING at Station 134+/-19 of the former S. H. 415 at its intersection with S. H. #8142 as shown on abandonment Map No. 445 for said S. H. 415 on file in the office of the County Supt. of Orange County, and runs southerly and westerly to Station 168+/-20 at the westerly end of the aforesaid abandoned S. H. 415; thence continuing southwesterly along a town road for a distance of 197+/- feet to the easterly end of the Central Valley-Cornwall County Road No. 9, Part 2, at Station 468+/-71 of said road, a total distance of 1.006 miles all in the town of Cornwall.

The law says that this portion of SH 415 turned over, from SH 8142 (Faculty Road) south to Bridge Street, was supposed to go to the county, not the town. But whatever happened, it was included in here, as was the town-maintained piece of Main Street from Bridge Street southwest to Angola Road (already CR 9). The portion of SH 1838 seems to have been Quaker Avenue from US 9W east to Angola Road.


Per [1] there were two junctions of 415 and 1838, about half a mile apart. So Hudson Street was probably 1838.
