N.C. 214  16 miles
The Road:		Begins at US 74 Bus-76 Bus near Whiteville and ends US 74-76 nearBolton, all within Columbus County.
Towns and Attractions:		Transylvania Co: Pisgah Nat'l Forest Columbus Co: Lake Waccamaw, Bolton
History:		NC 214 appeared about 1933 as new primary routing, running as a short loop off US 17/NC 20 (now NC 214) to Lake Waccamaw. Between 1985-87, NC 214 was moved to run on old US 74-76 west to Lake Waccamaw, then north on Chancy Rd to US 74-76. The old loop down to the lake itself became SR 1757 Lake Shore Rd. About 1992, NC 214 was extended east past Bolton to the new (current) US 74-76 routing. By 1995, NC 214 was rerouted to extend west to nearly Whiteville over SR 1757. Original NC 214 NC 214 reworked at Lake Waccamaw NC 214 extended east NC 214 extended west
Comment:		Technically, since no part of the original NC 214 survived after the first change, there have been 2 NC 214's. Not sure why this isn't an extended Bus US 74-76.
