History
That part of Cromwell Bridge Road between present-day Satyr Hill and Glen Arm/Cub Hill Road was once part of the original Old Harford Road when the latter was the main route of choice between parts of southern Harford County and the port of Baltimore. In fact, the level bed, numerous bridge abutments, and some track for the original Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad line can still be seen from some portions of the road and have remained there undisturbed since its abandonment in 1958.
The MD 567 designation used for part of the road was decommissioned in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
—William James (1842–1910)
