History
US 158 was established in 1932, the route between Mocksville to Murfreesboro is roughly the same as today; however, from Murfreesboro it went north into Virginia. In 1939, US 158 was rerouted east, through Elizabeth City and Kitty Hawk, to Manteo; the old route into Virginia was replaced as an extension by US 258. In 1957, US 64/US 264 were extended to Nags Head; as a result, US 258 was truncated in Nags Head; location commonly referred to as Whalebone Junction. In 1963, US 158 on Bodie Island was split into business and bypass (business route later disbanded in 1988).
