History: NC 115 appeared in 1930 as new primary routing, running from US 21-70/NC 10-26-90 (now US 21-64) Statesville north to the Wilkes-Iredell Line.
In 1932 or 1933, NC 115 was extended north to US 421/NC 60 (now just Old US 421) near Wilkesboro.

NC 115 extended well south


It appears between 1969-82, NC 115 north was truncated to its current end at US 421 Bus/NC 18-268.

Comment: NC 115 south of Statesville is pretty much a business route for US 21. It is curious why this wasn't renumbered as US 21-A at the time.
