North Carolina Highway 130 (NC 130) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The highway serves the towns and rural communities in southern Robeson County, acts as a direct route between Whiteville and Shallotte through the Green Swamp, and provides access to Holden Beach.

A state highway, state road, or state route is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province. A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways in the hierarchy. Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other.

North Carolina is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. It borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee to the west, Virginia to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. North Carolina is the 28th-most extensive and the 9th-most populous of the U.S. states. The state is divided into 100 counties. The capital is Raleigh, which along with Durham and Chapel Hill is home to the largest research park in the United States. The most populous municipality is Charlotte, which is the second-largest banking center in the United States after New York City.

Robeson County is a county in the southern part of the U.S. state of North Carolina. As of the 2010 census, the population was 134,168. Its county seat is Lumberton. The county was formed in 1787 from part of Bladen County. It was named in honor of Col. Thomas Robeson of Tar Heel, a hero of the Revolutionary War.

Route description

NC Highway 130 begins at U.S. Route 74 Business (US 74 Bus.) and NC 71 in Maxton and ends at Ocean Boulevard in Holden Beach.

North Carolina Highway 71 is a state highway that serves the communities of Maxton, Red Springs, Shannon, Lumber Bridge, and Parkton. Most of the highway travels through Robeson County but a short portion of it passes through Scotland County.

Maxton, North Carolina Town in North Carolina, United States

Maxton is a town in Robeson and Scotland counties, North Carolina, United States. The population was 2,426 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census.

It overlaps several highways along its route, including US 501, US 74 (proposed Interstate 74), US 76, NC 410 and US 17 Bus.

A concurrency in a road network is an instance of one physical roadway bearing two or more different route numbers. When two roadways share the same right-of-way, it is sometimes called a common section or commons. Other terminology for a concurrency includes overlap, coincidence, duplex, triplex, multiplex, dual routing or triple routing.

U.S. Route 501 is a spur of U.S. Route 1. It runs 355 miles (571 km) from Buena Vista, Virginia at U.S. Route 60 to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at U.S. Route 17 Business. It passes through the states of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. From Durham to Laurinburg, a 108-mile (174 km) section of US 501 overlaps U.S. Route 15. Sections of US 15-501 also share routings with U.S. Route 1 in sections near Sanford, North Carolina and Aberdeen, North Carolina.

U.S. Route 74 (US 74) is an east–west United States highway that runs for 515 miles (829 km) from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Predominantly in North Carolina, it serves as an important highway from the mountains to the sea, connecting the cities of Asheville, Charlotte and Wilmington.

History

NC 130 was established around 1928 as a renumbering of part of NC 201 between NC 30 in Supply, to the intersection of Moore Street and Atlantic Avenue in Southport. In 1930, NC 130 was extended west along NC 30 to Shallotte, then northwest along new primary routing to NC 23 near Whiteville.^[2] In 1940, NC 130 made its final westward extension, by overlapping with US 701 to US 74 in Whiteville; in concurrency, it travels with US 74 until Boardman, then replaced NC 71 through Fairmont and Rowland before ending at US 74/NC 71 in Maxton.^[3]

North Carolina Highway 201 was the designation for two former routes in North Carolina.

North Carolina Highway 30 (NC 30) is a short primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina entirely in Pitt County.

Supply is a small unincorporated community in Brunswick County, North Carolina, United States located around the intersection of US 17 and NC 211. Its name is derived from the use of the Lockwoods Folly River as a trade route in the 18th and 19th centuries. Residents of the nearby beach communities of Holden Beach, Oak Island, Ocean Isle, Caswell Beach, and Sunset Beach often used to commute to Supply for goods and other materials. This practice is still common, but development in the town of Southport and in the Intracoastal Waterway commercial districts has made traveling to Supply unnecessary.

By 1944, NC 130 was rerouted in Shallotte onto Whiteville Road and Powell Street to US 17 on Village Road; its old alignment of Bridger Road and Mulberry Street was downgraded to secondary roads. In 1949, NC 130 was extended north on new primary routing from Southport, through the Sunny Point Army Terminal (opened 1955) and Orton Plantation, to US 17/US 74/US 76 in Belville.^[4] In 1957, NC 130 was truncated in Shallotte; with Supply to Southport becoming part of NC 211 and Southport to Belville part of NC 40. In 1959, NC 130 was extended on new primary routing to Holden Beach.^[5] By 1962, NC 130 was adjusted onto Main Street instead of Village Road in Shallotte, downgrading Powell Street to secondary road.^[6]

In the U.S. state of North Carolina U.S. Route 17 (US 17) is a north–south highway that is known as the Coastal Highway in the southeastern half of the state and the Ocean Highway in other areas. The route enters the state from South Carolina near Calabash, and leaves in the vicinity of the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. Between the US 64 freeway and the Virginia state line, US 17 is a four-lane divided highway with speed limits varying between 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) and 70 miles per hour (110 km/h).

Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU) is one of the largest military terminals in the world. It serves as a transfer point between rail, trucks, and ships for the import and export of weapons, ammunition, explosives and military equipment for United States Army. The 596th Transportation Brigade, United States Army, operates the terminal.

The Orton Plantation is a historic plantation house in the Smithville Township of Brunswick County, North Carolina, United States. Located beside the Cape Fear River between Wilmington and Southport, Orton Plantation is considered to be a near-perfect example of Southern antebellum architecture. Built in 1735 by the co-founder of Brunswick Town, the Orton Plantation house is one of the oldest structures in Brunswick County. During its history Orton Plantation has been attacked by Native Americans, used as a military hospital, and been home to lawyers, physicians, military leaders, and a Colonial governor. Although the home is privately owned and closed to the public, the Orton Plantation Gardens and family-owned chapel have become a tourist destination in Southeastern North Carolina, attracting thousands of visitors each year. On April 11, 1973, the Orton Plantation was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1965, NC 130 was rerouted on new bypass southeast of Fairmont, with its old alignment through town becoming NC 130 Business.^[7] In 1972, US 74/NC 130 was placed on new alignment between the Lumber River and Chadbourn; its old alignment through Boardman and Evergreen became Old US 74 (SR 1574).^[8] In 1975, US 74/NC 130 was rerouted onto new alignment north of Chadbourn to NC 410, where then continued together south into town; five months later, the concurrencies would change to US 74 Bus. and US 76 Bus. between Chadbourn and Whiteville.^[9]^[10] NC 130 was rerouted in 2012 onto new four-lane Smith Avenue in Shallotte; NC 130 Business was established continuing along the old alignment with US 17 Bus. and onto Holden Beach Road, then on new routing on Edgewater Drive back to the mainline.^[11]

Lumber River river in the United States of America

The Lumber River is a 133-mile-long (214 km) river in south-central North Carolina in the flat Coastal Plain. European settlers first called the river Drowning Creek, which still is the name of its headwater. The waterway known as the Lumber River extends downstream from the Scotland County-Hoke County border to the North Carolina-South Carolina border. Soon after crossing into South Carolina, the Lumber River flows into the Little Pee River, which flows into the Pee Dee River, or Great Pee Dee River. Finally, the combined waters flow into Winyah Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Chadbourn is a town in Columbus County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 1,856 at the 2010 census.
