 In the early 1960s, NY 69 was rerouted to follow a new purpose-built highway that bypassed most of Taberg to the south.Most of NY 69's original alignment through the hamlet was transferred to the town of Annsville; however, its former western approach into Taberg along Taberg Road was realigned to meet the bypass and became a short extension of NY 285.On September 1, 1988, ownership and maintenance of NY 285 was transferred from the state of New York to Oneida County.
