History
Route 415 was originally designated in the 1928 mass state highway numbering throughout Pennsylvania. When designated, Route 415 went from Pennsylvania Route 115 (former Pennsylvania Route 15) in the community of Kyttle. At that point, Route 415 went through Harveys Lake and Ruggles onto current Route 29 to Kyttle. The southern terminus was also designated as Pennsylvania Route 92. The eastbound side of the lake was designated as Traffic Route 515 in the 1928 numbering. In 1932, construction of Route 415 was completed from Mooretown Road to the Luzerne/Wyoming County line, with the portion now Route 29 finishing in 1934. This alignment remained intact for only twelve years, when the Pennsylvania Department of Highways decommissioned Route 515 and truncated Route 415 back to an intersection with Route 29 in Ruggles. At that point, Route 415 was designated on both sides of Harveys Lake, with the eastbound side by 1990 being designated as State Route 1415.
