History
MD 156 follows the path of the old Bel Air Road from Havre de Grace. As a result, the highway was already paved by 1910. The state highway was repaved in macadam starting from the west end in 1921 and completed east to Webster in 1922. Aldino Road was originally marked as part of MD 155, which ran from the MD 22–MD 156 intersection in Churchville east to Havre de Grace; Level Road from Churchville to Hopewell Village was designated MD 156. MD 155 and MD 156 swapped routes in 1952.Junction list
