Route description
History
The state legislature created State Route 142 in 1933, connecting SR-69 (now SR-30) at Petersboro with Newton and Smithfield. SR-142 was moved to the present route of Newton to Clarkston at SR-170 in 1941, with the old alignment through downtown Newton to Smithfield becoming SR-218.{{cite UTSR law|year=1941|chapter=34|quote=Route 142. From route 69 at Peterboro north via Newton and Clarkston to the Clarkston cemetery." "Route 218. From route 142 in Newton easterly to route 1 in Smithfield.}}
In 1969, SR-170, which ran from Clarkston via Trenton to Richmond was absorbed into SR-142, and SR-170 was deleted. This completed the current route of SR-142 as it runs today.
