Established around 1930, NC 114 originally travelled from US 70 and NC 10 to Oakland Avenue in Drexel. US 64 connected with NC 114 by 1933, as it was extended east from Chattanooga, Tennessee in concurrency with US 70. NC 10 was removed from US 70 by 1935 and US 64 was rerouted in 1988, ending NC 114's connection with those highways. The roadway was extended south to I-40 in 1976, and has remained unchanged.
