History

The first segment of MD 256 was constructed as a Script error: No such module "convert". wide gravel road from MD 2 east to the hamlet of Nutwell west of Deale, near the intersection with Franklin Gibson Road, in 1923.[3][4] This segment was originally designated as MD 257. A second segment of MD 256 was constructed as a gravel road of the same width from MD 255 (now MD 468) in Shady Side south through Churchton to Swamp Circle Road north of the center of Deale in 1926.[4][5] The gap through Deale was filled in 1932 and 1933.[5][6] By 1934, traffic was dense enough on the Deale–Shady Side road that the Maryland State Roads Commission recommended the highway be expanded from Script error: No such module "convert". in width.[6] MD 256 replaced all of MD 257 in 1939.[7] The roundabout at MD 256's junction with MD 258 was installed in 2007.[8]
