History
The first part of MD 367 to be paved was between present day MD 368 and MD 568 in Bishopville. That segment, plus the present lengths of MD 368 and MD 568, were paved as a state-aid road between 1912 and 1915 and later designated MD 368. The next segment of modern MD 367 was between the western terminus and just west of Buntings Branch, which was completed by 1923. The connection over Buntings Branch to MD 368 was finished by 1933. The remainder of Bishopville Road to the Delaware state line was completed in 1934 and designated MD 568. MD 367 was extended east from MD 368 to the Delaware state line in 1950 when MD 368 was rolled back to its present length and MD 568 was reassigned to Hatchery Road.Junction list
