VA 522 #1: Appeared in August 1928 as a renumbering of VA 342, running from US 13/VA 34 Tasley west to Onancock.
In Dec 1930 (CTB), a second piece of VA 522 was created running from US 13/VA 34 (now VA 178-181 jct) Belle Haven west 2.71 miles. About 1930, VA 522 piece 2 was extended from Belle Haven east to Belle Haven Station, replacing part of US 13/VA 34. In June 1931 (CTB), piece 2 was extended 1.5 more miles. By 1932, VA 522 was rerouted at Belle Haven to instead head south to end at US 13/VA 34 Exmore. This was a route swap with VA 526. In July 1932 (CTB), VA 522 piece 2 was extended north 5.65 miles to about Bobtown.
In July 1933, both pieces of VA 522 became VA 178. Today the first piece is now part of VA 179 and all of VA 126.
VA 522 #2: Appeared in Oct 1940 (CTB) - "It is proposed to extend Federal Route 522 south from Hancock, Maryland to simplify the direction of traffic to the Skyline Drive from north or south." AASHO deferred action on this request in May 1941. VA 522 began at US 60 near Powhatan and replaced VA 49 through Goochland, Mineral, Culpeper...
VA 522 is shown explicitly on the Jan 1941 and July 1941 official state maps. AASHO approved this as US 522 in July 1943 after West Virginia posted the route. shows VA 522 renumbered as US 522. It remains so today except: SR 668 and SR 717 at Maidens; SR 719 in the Belmont/Lake Anna area; US 211-522 Business through Washington; SR 610/665 loop Chester Gap; Main St/Commerce St in Front Royal; SR 802 Ninevah; SR 760 Armel; SRs 679/789 in Albin; SR 684 through Gainsboro; SR 707/771 and SR 693/770 loops near Cross Junction.
