| Location: | Wake County and Franklin County, North Carolina |
U.S. Route 1A in Wake and Franklin counties, is located north of Raleigh and in two separate segments.
The largest segment of US 1A initially branches off near the massive Wakefield development near Wake Forest and passes through that town, before crossing the Wake/Franklin County line into Youngsville.
A shorter segment passes through nearby Franklinton just a few miles north of the Wake Forest – Youngsville segment.
Both sections of US 1A are not to be confused with a US 1 Alternate in Moore County, North Carolina that was redesignated when its parent was moved to a four-lane limited-access expressway that bypassed the towns of Cameron and Vass in 2005.

The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“I hear ... foreigners, who would boycott an employer if he hired a colored workman, complain of wrong and oppression, of low wages and long hours, clamoring for eight-hour systems ... ah, come with me, I feel like saying, I can show you workingmen’s wrong and workingmen’s toil which, could it speak, would send up a wail that might be heard from the Potomac to the Rio Grande; and should it unite and act, would shake this country from Carolina to California.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
