Old York Road was an alternate, less-direct route for traffic between Towson and Maryland Line compared to York Road, which is now MD 45. MD 562 is part of one extant stretch of the road; another segment is MD 439 from Shawsville to Maryland Line. The Troyer Road section of MD 562 was constructed as a concrete road in 1933. The Old York Road segment of MD 562 was built as a macadam road in 1934. The state highway has changed very little since the 1930s. ==Junction list==
