History
US 522 was created in 1926 and signed from Lewistown to Selinsgrove in Pennsylvania. A year later, US 522 was extended south to Hancock, Maryland along its current alignment. The portion from U.S. Route 40 in Hancock to U.S. Route 22 in Mount Union, Pennsylvania was previously U.S. Route 622 from 1925 to 1927. The designation, shown on the 1925 U.S. Highway System plan, may not have been signed.
