History

Established in 1930, it went from Monroe, at US 74/NC 20/NC 25/NC 151, to the South Carolina state line, near Jaars, where it changed into SC 93 (renumbered to SC 200 in 1937).^[3] Between 1931-36, NC 200 was realigned north of Old Highway Road near Jackson. In 1936, the highway was extended north via Franklin Street, Church Street, Winchester Street, and finally Morgan Hill Road to NC 27, in Locust. In 1942, the highway was extended again north to current terminus at NC 151 (renumbered US 601 in 1951).^[1]

About 1958, NC 200 was rerouted in Monroe to follow Morrow Road and Haynes Street onto new bypass US 74/US 601, then return back on Morgan Hill Road. By 1982, it had reverted back to follow along Charlotte Avenue and Church Street.^[1]
