Route description

History
Established in 1932 as a new primary routing, it initially ran from U.S. Route 70 (US 70)/NC 10 (now NC 55) in Fort Barnwell, to NC 43 in Vanceboro. Around 1940, it was rerouted to a new western terminus at NC 11 in Grifton. In 1970, it was extended west over an old section of NC 11 and Grifton Hugo Road to its current western terminus of NC 11.
