Route description
A two-lane rural highway, it traverses 5.5 miles (8.9 km), begins at the South Carolina state line. Heading north, NC 38 connects with Future I-74/US 74. Continuing north from the interchange, it heads into Hamlet, where it ends at US 74 Business. NC 38 is named in honor of Louis Breeden, a former professional American Football player who played defensive back for the Cincinnati Bengals (1978-1987) in the National Football League.
History
The first NC 38 was formed in 1934 to replace NC 301, it ran from US 17 in Folkstone to the New River. In 1937, NC 38 was renumbered NC 86. That same year, the current NC 38 was re-established as a renumbering of NC 771; which connected with the newly renumbered SC 38. NC 38 has not changed since. [2]
