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:
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
