US 1 Business #1: Born in 1960 as a renumbering of US 1-A through Sanford. Ran on Carthage St and Hawkins Ave. This was the historical route of original NC 50.
In 1977, US 1 Business was rerouted southward leaving Sanford to follow NC 42 back over to mainline US 1. The remaining Carthage Rd southward is now SR 1237.

There is one US 1 Business segment (#3) that has come and gone. Created in 1963, US 1 Business for Raleigh was born when US 1 was placed on the new Beltline. US 1 Business followed Hillsborough St into the city center, then McDowell/Dawson (one-way pairs), Downtown Blvd and North Blvd (now Capital Blvd) northeast back out to the Beltline.
US 1 Business was decommissioned in 1975. Hillsborough St became secondary (why not an extended NC 54?) and the rest remained US 401.
Only the Hillsborough St section was part of original NC 50.
