Type-N was developed by Bell Laps in 1940's as a better connector for higher frequencies with the PL-259 dateing back to 1930's. Type-N is superior at UHF (>300 MHz). PL-249 is only called a UHF connector because back in the 1930's, >30 MHz was called "UHF".

Of course PL-249 about was meant to be PL-259.
