| NC 91 was the original number for most of what is now US 264. It had more than a few routings through the county, including Marshburn Road and Morphus Bridge Road near Wendell; old US 264 east of NC 97 outside of Zebulon; and NC 96, Fowler Road, Rolesville Road, Jones Dairy Road and NC 98 through Wake Forest into Durham County.
All of these routings existed in a ten-year stretch between 1926 and 1936. Evidently the state had nothing better to do than reroute NC 91 every couple of years.
In 1940, the route was straightened out so that it only consisted of today's NC 96 and NC 98. A year later, NC 91 was killed in favor of NC 264. |
