History
Route 156 was originally an alignment of State Highway Route 25 (co-designated U.S. Route 130) in the 1927 renumbering through Yardville. The route was realigned on a bypass around 1952, a year before the 1953 renumbering, in which Route 25 was decommissioned. Route 130 ran on a four-lane bypass to the east, while the alignment in Yardville became Route 156. The route has remained virtually intact since then.
