History

North Carolina Highway 203

North Carolina Highway 203 (NC 203) was an original state highway that traversed from the South Carolina state line, at Gibson, to NC 20 (Richmond Hill Road), west of Laurinburg.[2] In 1926 it was extended north, replacing part of NC 20, to end at NC 20 east of Laurel Hill. Around 1928, NC 203 was rerouted further east to end at US 74/NC 20 near Laurinburg. In 1934, NC 203 was renumbered to NC 79.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Scotland County.
