History
Route 125 was established from a previously unnumbered road in the 1932 state highway renumbering. It originally ran from Jewell Street, where the town offices of Cornwall are located, to its current northern terminus at Route 128. At an undetermined time after 1938, the southern terminus was truncated to its current location at Route 4. It was scheduled for cancellation in the 1962 Route Reclassification Act but it was ultimately decided to be retained in the state highway system.
