Established in the mid-1970s, to connect an incomplete gap of Interstate 95, Interstate 95 Business traversed 44.6 miles (71.8 km) from Kenly (exit 107) to Gold Rock (exit 145). The route was overlapped onto US 301, through the cities of Wilson and Rocky Mount; then just south of Battleboro, it goes alone over a four-lane connector road back onto mainline Interstate 95. Around 1986, Interstate 95 Business was decommissioned; NC 4 was extended onto the connector road to its current southern terminus at US 301.

“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where other civilizations have recognized only one. Where other civilizations give a satisfactory outlet to only one temperamental type, be he mystic or soldier, business man or artist, a civilization in which there are many standards offers a possibility of satisfactory adjustment to individuals of many different temperamental types, of diverse gifts and varying interests.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
