History
In the 1930s, NC 214 was made as a highway through Lake Waccamaw off of U.S. 74 and N.C. 20. In the 1980s, it was rerouted so that N.C. 20 was now N.C. 214, and U.S. 74 was on another highway. However, it was shorter than it is now; it was later extended to the east and west. The original N.C. 214 is now Lake Shore Dr.
Junction list
The entire route is in Columbus County.
