Route description

History

NC 69 previously ran from Marshall northeast to Twin Oaks, parallel to the Tennessee border. It was completely decommissioned by 1933. In addition, the current route of NC 69 was previously NC 287, but was renumbered in 1941 to match Georgia State Route 69, which itself was renumbered in 1958. NC 69 previously ran southeast from Hayesville, but had to be relocated after the damming of Lake Chatuge.
