The Maryland highway system has several hundred former state highways. These highways were constructed, maintained, or funded by the Maryland State Roads Commission or Maryland State Highway Administration and assigned a unique or temporally unique number. Some time after the highway was assigned, the highway was transferred to county or municipal maintenance and the number designation was removed from the particular stretch of road. In some cases, a highway was renumbered in whole or in part. This list contains all or most of the state-numbered highways between 700 and 999 that have existed since highways were first numbered in 1927 but are no longer part of the state highway system or are state highways of a different number. Most former state highways have not had their numbers reused. However, many state highway numbers were used for a former highway and are currently in use. Some numbers have been used three times. The former highways below whose numbers are used presently, those that were taken over in whole or in part by another highway, or have enough information to warrant a separate article contain links to those separate highway articles. Highway numbers that have two or more former uses are differentiated below by year ranges. This list does not include former Interstate or U.S. Highways, which are linked from their respective lists.

Maryland Route 787 was the designation for Flower Avenue, which ran 0.99 miles (1.59 km) from MD 195 north to MD 320 within Takoma Park in southeastern Montgomery County.[MD 787 1] Flower Avenue from Carroll Avenue to Piney Branch Road was paved as a concrete road by 1923.[MD 787 2] The pavement was extended from Piney Branch Road north to Franklin Avenue in Silver Spring between 1931 and 1933.[MD 787 3][MD 787 4] Flower Avenue between MD 195 and MD 516 (Franklin Avenue), was designated MD 194 by 1939.[MD 787 5] MD 194 was widened to 30 feet (9.1 m) and resurfaced with asphalt concrete from MD 195 to MD 320 in 1947.[MD 787 6] The highway from MD 320 to MD 516 was resurfaced in 1954.[MD 787 7] In 1955, MD 194 was involved in a route number swap involving three routes in different parts of the state. At the time, MD 71 was assigned to the highway connecting Frederick with Taneytown, which connected with Pennsylvania Route 194 at the Maryland–Pennsylvania state line.[MD 787 8] MD 71 was reassigned to the new Blue Star Memorial Highway on the Eastern Shore; this designation would be replaced with US 301 in 1959.[MD 787 9][MD 787 10] The Frederick–Taneytown highway was assigned MD 194 to match its Pennsylvania counterpart.[MD 787 9] Flower Avenue's designation was changed to MD 787.[MD 787 11]
The portion of MD 787 from MD 320 to Franklin Avenue was transferred from state to county maintenance in 1999. This mileage swap, which included the transfer of MD 516 as well, was conducted to bring MD 119 (Great Seneca Highway) into the state highway system.[MD 787 12] The following year, a short segment of MD 787 south of MD 195 was removed from the state highway system.[MD 787 13] This 0.10-mile (0.16 km) segment, which extended south to Chaney Drive, had already been maintained by the city of Takoma Park.[MD 787 12] Chaney Drive had been where Flower Avenue intersected the Montgomery–Prince George's county line before the county line was moved in 1997 to place Takoma Park entirely within Montgomery County.[MD 787 11][MD 787 14] The remaining state-maintained portion of Flower Avenue functioned as more of a city street than a state highway, and the city of Takoma Park desired to reconstruct it as a "green street" with improved stormwater management and complete sidewalks on both sides of the street. In November 2010, after a series of discussions on several state highways in the city, the Takoma Park city council proposed the city receive ownership of Flower Avenue from the state in exchange for a one-time payment of $696,000, which was the amount the Maryland State Highway Administration had planned to spend to repave MD 787. The city would use the state payment toward reconstructing Flower Avenue after ownership was transferred to the city.[MD 787 15] Flower Avenue from MD 195 to MD 320 was officially transferred from the state to the city of Takoma Park through a road transfer agreement on August 1, 2012.[MD 787 16]

Kent County constructed the first segment, north of MD 290, with state aid as part of the 14-foot-wide (4.3 m) concrete road from Galena south to Lambson Station between 1915 and 1919.[MD 801 2][MD 801 3] The southern segment was built as part of the Galena–Massey highway; the 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) concrete road was constructed in 1921 and 1922.[MD 801 4] MD 801 was assigned to Irelands Corner Road after MD 313 was reconstructed and relocated south from Galena in 1956 and 1957; the segment of MD 290 between MD 801 and MD 313 was constructed at the same time.[MD 801 5] MD 801 was transferred from state to county maintenance through a December 1, 1987, road transfer agreement.[MD 801 1]

The eastern segment of MD 803 began where Edgar Price Road curved northeast. The highway met the southern end of MD 822 before reaching its eastern terminus at the Delaware state line.[MD 803 1] The portion of the county highway west from the state line was reconstructed as the eastern section of MD 803 was reconstructed as a state highway in 1955.[MD 803 2][MD 803 3] The western section was constructed as a service road to reconnect MD 299 with Edgar Price Road, which was cut off by the construction of MD 71 (now US 301) between 1954 and 1956.[MD 803 2][MD 803 3][MD 803 4] MD 803 was transferred to county maintenance through a December 27, 1979, road transfer agreement.[MD 803 1]
