History

NC 411 was first commissioned in 1937, starting as a short route between Harrells and Garland. Its eastern terminus was at the former alignment of NC 41 and the western terminus was at US 701. In the early 1950s the routing of NC 411 was extended and altered slightly to its current alignment.
