NC 20 is a 32-mile North Carolina state highway that runs through Robeson and Hoke counties. It serves as a major road in each of the three incorporated communities it passes through. The route is codesignated as Central Street in Raeford, Main Street in Lumber Bridge, and Broad Street in St. Pauls.
History
The original NC 20 was at one time the longest numbered route in North Carolina running from the Tennessee border to Wilmington for a distance of 401 miles. With the arrival of the U.S. highways in 1934, the route was carved up between US 19, US 70, US 74, US 76 and US 17.
The modern NC 20 was originally NC 220. With a few minor reroutings, the route has remained largely unchanged since then.[1]
