Route description
NC 305 begins at an intersection with US 13 north of Windsor. NC 305 then heads northwest towards Burden and Connarlsta. It then crosses NC 11/NC 42 near Aulander then goes through downtown Aulander.[4] NC 305 then continues into the southwestern side of Hertford County. NC 305 meets up with NC 561 near Northampton County. NC 305 and NC 561 run a concurrency until Rich Square where it crosses US 258.[5] NC 305 then heads a northwesterly direction towards Jackson. NC 305 then runs a concurrency with US 158 west into Jackson before it turns north towards Seaboard. After 7 miles NC 305 reaches its northern terminus of NC 186 in Seaboard.[6]
History
The first time NC 305 appeared on a map was on the 1922 official map of North Carolina. The road went from Jackson to Rich Square and then to Aulander.[7] By 1930 NC 305 was extended north to its current terminus in Seaboard, North Carolina.[8] By 1940 NC 305 had been extended down south to NC 97 north of Windsor, North Carolina.[9] When US 13 was extended south NC 97 was renumbered as part of US 13. When NC 561 was extended NC 305 was built to run a concurrency with NC 561 for 6 miles.[10] NC 305 has had the same routing since then.
