The oldest active US 64 Business was born in 1960 as a replacement for US 64-A and is the 4th US 64 Business. It originally ran straight through town on Main St.
In Sept 1993 (NCDOT), the Main St bridge over the Scuppernong River was taken down and US 64 Business was rerouted to use Broad St (had been NC 94) south to its current end at US 64/NC 94.

The 5th US 64 Business was created 1960 as what had been a few years prior mainline US 64 through Morganton. It originally ran from US 64-70 southwest of town to US 64-70 east of town.
Between 1969-72, US 64 Bus was split into one-way alignments. EB used Meeting St while WB used Union St.
In August 1992 (NCDOT), US 64 Business was rerouted in Morganton to follow NC 18 north out of town out to the rerouted US 64 as it runs today. So EB left Meeting onto Green, then north on Avery. WB used Avery to Sterling south to Union.

The 6th 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.
In August 1975 (NCDOT), US 64 Business was extended in both directions: west replacing US 64 to the new US 64 freeway near Eagle Rock; east replacing US 64 to Zebulon, then duplexing north with NC 96 to the new US 64 freeway there.
In Nov 2006 (NCDOT), US 64 Business was extended west replacing US 64-264 over to I-440. Heading westbound there is no posted indication to take I-440 over to US 64. On US 64 EB, the BGS assembly at the US 64-264 exit has a BGS for the upcoming US 64 Business interchange.

The 16th 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.

The 17th 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 6 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.
US 64 Business lasted to at least 1980 but I don't recall any US 64 Business postings when I frequented Brevard in the late 1980s.
Today Caldwell St is again US 64 Business.

The 2nd US 64 Business appeared in 1960 as a renumbering of US 64-A through Williamston. It ran along NC 90's original route - Main St, Haughton St, and Jamesville Rd.
In October 1969 (NCDOT), US 64 Business was split into one-way splits off Main St. EB was moved to Elm St while WB used the previous two-way routing.
In February 1977 (NCDOT), US 64 Business was removed from Williamston

The 3rd 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.
By late 1960, US 64 Business was rerouted to instead follow today's Front St west out to I-40.
About 1963, US 64 Business went back to being US 64 except Front St west of Newton St became NC 90 (now also part of US 64 again).

US 64 Business was renumbered as an extended US 178 west of the town center and SR 1388 east of the center in February 1980 (NCDOT).
This was too short-lived to make it onto a county map.
