NC 311: Appeared in 1930 as restored primary routing. It ran from NC 31 (just Main St today) very near the longtime US 19-23 split and followed today's US 23 to the settlement of California, then veered off onto SR 1347 Chandler Creek Rd, back across US 23 near Faust, then west along SR 1503, Old US 23, to modern US 23-A which it followed to Tennessee.
In the Great Renumbering NC 311 was renumbered as NC 36.
