| The Roads: |
The oldest active US 64 Business was born in 1960 as a replacement for US 64 through Columbia and is the 6th US 64 Business. It originally ran straight through town on Main St. The bypass opened before 1960, an October 1960 letter to AASHO explicitly said it did not have a US 64-A renumbered as US 64 Bus.
The 8th US 64 Business was created about 1960 as a renumbering of mainline US 64 through Wendell. It initially ran from today's NC 97 west endpoint down to Wendell, then back up to NC 97, which became mainline US 64.
The 9th US 64 Business was created created about 1963 as a renumbering of mainline US 64 through Nashville. It follows NC 90's original routing - Western Ave, S. Barnes St, Washington St, and Eastern Ave.
The 12th US 64 Business was created created May 1971 (NCDOT) as a renumbering of mainline US 64 through Hayesville. It follows hiawassee and Main Sts.
The 14th US 64 Business was created about 1982 as a renumbering of mainline US 64 through Rocky Mount. It mostly follows NC 90's original routing.
The 15th US 64 Business was created about 1992 as a renumbering of mainline US 64 through Jamesville. It follows NC 90's original routing along Main St.
The 16th US 64 Business was created about 2002 as a renumbering of mainline US 64 through Pittsboro. It follows West St and East St right through Courthouse Square. East St was not part of the original NC 90.
The 17th US 64 Business was created late 2006 as a reprise of the first US 64 Business through Brevard, running along Caldwell St. NCDOT wanted to establish a US 64-E/64-W split which AASHTO rejected. So US 64 Business is there instead. However, NCDOT posted this as US 64 westbound while the 'bypass' is posted US 64 eastbound.
US 64 Business returns to Brevard 2008 Transylvania County The 18th US 64 Business was created in December 2020 when US 64 was placed on its freeway bypass of Asheboro. Most of this is duplexed with NC 49 which did not get placed on the new bypass.
Now a chronological look at 7 decommissioned US 64 Business routes: The 1st US 64 Business was created in 1960 as a renumbering of US 64-A in Brevard, running along Caldwell St.
The 2nd US 64 Business was created in 1960 as a renumbering of US 64-A thruogh Plymouth. This appears to have been decommissioned by 1962. An October 1960 letter to AASHO explicitly said US 64-A was renumbered to US 64 Business through Plymouth. No county map shows 64-A or 64 Business. The route was today's SR 1335 Wilson St/3rd St; SR 1357 Washington St; SR 1325 Main St.

The 4th US 64 Business appeared in 1960, replacing US 64-A through Statesville. US 64 Business may have briefly began at Westminster Dr and current US 70.
