North Carolina Highway 213 (NC 213) is a primary state highway in the state of North Carolina. The highway connects Marshall with Walnut and Mars Hill.

Route description

NC 213 begins at the intersection of Walnut Drive (SR 1439) and Barnard Road (SR 1151), in the Walnut community. Going southeast, along Walnut Drive, it connects and overlaps with US 25/US 70 towards Marshall. At the Hayes Run Road interchange, NC 213 departs from US 25/US 70 and proceeds northeast towards Mars Hill and passing through the Petersburg community along the way. As NC 213 enters Mars Hill, it becomes Cascade Street as it goes through Mars Hill College; at the town's Main Street, it changes to Carl Eller Road. At the eastern edge of Mars Hill, NC 213 ends at the intersection of Future I-26/US 19/US 23 (exit 11) and Calvin Edney Road (SR 1549).

Signage of NC 213 between Walnut and Marshall does not exist and only begin at the US 25 Bus./US 70 Bus. intersection, in Marshall.

History

Established in 1928 as a renumbering of NC 69, from US 70/NC 20, in Marshall, to US 19/NC 69 near Forks of Ivy. In 1930, NC 213 was realigned around Petersburg, leaving behind several secondary roads; also in same year the highway was extended west onto new routing through Canto and renumbered NC 63 to Trust.[2] In 1934, NC 213 was rerouted northeast from Mars Hill to intersect with US 19/US 23, replacing NC 31, while the route to Forks of Ivy was replaced by NC 36.[3] By 1947, NC 213 was pushed back onto a new realignment of NC 36 near California Creek Road. In 1951, NC 213 was truncated west again in Marshall, dropping to Canto and NC 63 regaining its original link to Trust.[4]

In 1975, NC 213 was placed on new alignment between Marshall and Petersburg, leaving behind Silver Mill Road. Later that year, NC 213 was rerouted in Mars Hill, switching from Main Street to Carl Eller Road, then going southeast to US 19/US 23 and Calvin Edney Road (SR 1549). The old alignment along Main Street was briefly picked-up by NC 36 before becoming a secondary road.[5] In 1981, NC 213 was rerouted onto the new Marshall Bypass to Walnut.[6]

North Carolina Highway 36

NC Highway 36
Location: Mars Hill, North Carolina
Length: 4.3 mi[7] (6.9 km)
Existed: 1952–1975

North Carolina Highway 36 (NC 36) was a primary highway that existed twice, both serving Mars Hill. The first NC 36 was established in 1934, traveling between US 19/US 23, near Forks of Ivy, to the Tennessee state line at Sam's Gap and continuing on as SR 81.[3] Between 1937-1944, NC 36 was placed on new bypass south of Faust, its old alignment becoming Laurel Valley Road (SR 1503). In 1938, NC 36 was placed on new bypass east of Mars Hill, its old alignment becoming NC 36A. Around 1947, US 19/US 23 was also placed along the Mars Hill Bypass.[4] In 1952, the first NC 36 was decommissioned when US 23 was rerouted along its route into Tennessee.

In 1952, the second NC 36 was established, replacing the southern half of NC 36A, between US 19/US 23 and NC 213.[8] It remained as a short 1.9-mile (3.1 km) highway till October, 1975, when it was assigned the former northern half of NC 36A, thanks to a realignment of NC 213.[5] However, the route change only lasted a month; in November, the decision was made to decommission the entire route instead, becoming Main Street/Forks of Ivy Road (SR 1609).[9]

North Carolina Highway 36A (NC 36A) was an alternate route established in 1938 as a renumbering of NC 36 through Mars Hill, via Main Street. In 1952, NC 36A was replaced by the second NC 36 and NC 213, split at Cascade Street.[3]
