Route 62 was the original route of pre-1927 Route 12, and later of Route 6 (the predecessor of Route 46), designated 1927. When in 1929 Route 6 was redefined to bypass Paterson to the south, State Highway Route S6 was also designated to take on its old route west of Paterson. This route headed northbound from Totowa to Paterson following Union Boulevard, Totowa Avenue and McBride Avenue, ending at the Paterson-[[West Paterson, New Jersey|West Paterson]] (now Woodland Park) town line for several years, constituting a length of {{convert|2.32|mi|km}}.<ref name="1969log">{{cite book |title=Milepost Log of State Highways |publisher=New Jersey State Highway Department |year=1969 |edition=1969}}</ref> Before the bypass of Paterson was completed in 1943, U.S. Route 46 followed Route S6 into the city, following the old Route 6 alignment of McBride Avenue, Spruce Street, and Market Street to its current alignment. In the [[1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering]] on January 1, 1953, Route S6 was renumbered to Route 62.<ref name="nj1953">{{Cite book|title=1953 renumbering|url=http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1953_New_Jersey_state_highway_renumbering|publisher=New Jersey Department of Highways|access-date=July 31, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110628183145/http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1953_New_Jersey_state_highway_renumbering|archive-date=June 28, 2011}}</ref><ref name="nyt">{{cite news|access-date=2009-07-20|title=New Road Signs Ready in New Jersey|newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=December 16, 1952 |url=http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/6933/19521216newroadsignsreaiu6.jpg|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721112422/http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/6933/19521216newroadsignsreaiu6.jpg|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 21, 2011}}</ref> Route 62 remained along this alignment before being truncated by 1980.<ref name="1980sld">{{cite book|title=Route 62 Straight Line Diagram|publisher=New Jersey Department of Transportation|year=1980|edition=1980}}</ref> Route 62 was left out of the Straight Line Diagrams produced by the New Jersey Department of Transportation in 2000,<ref name="2000sld">{{cite book|title=Route 62 Straight Line Diagram|publisher=New Jersey Department of Transportation|year=2000|edition=2000}}</ref> but was returned the next year.<ref name="2001sld">{{cite book|title=Route 62 Straight Line Diagram|publisher=New Jersey Department of Transportation|year=2001|edition=2001}}</ref> Route 62 received improvements of the interchange with US&nbsp;46 in 2006 at a cost of $22.748 million (2006 USD) to repair the bridge over US&nbsp;46, ramp reconfigurations and new resurfaced roadway.<ref name="trans">{{cite web|url=http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/capital/stip04-06/Route/Rt62.pdf|title=Fiscal Year 2004-2006 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program|year=2004|publisher=New Jersey Department of Transportation|pages=1|access-date=August 26, 2009}}</ref>
