History:

NC 121 appeared in 1929 as new routing. It ran from US 258-264 Farmville to NC 43 Bruce.
About 1988, two pieces of the US 264 freeway opened. NC 121 was extended west from Farmville over what had been US 264-A, then duplexed with US 264, then replaced a bit of US 264 west to NC 91 above Walstonburg.
Official maps in 2001 or 2002 show that NC 121 was rerouted to its current ending, replacing a bit of US 264-A. The part over to NC 91 became an extended US 264-A.

The first NC 121 appeared in 1930 as new primary routing, running from NC 12 (now US 70/258-NC 58 jct) Kinston south to NC 24 near Richlands.
In 1932, US 258 was assigned to NC 121.
In late 1934, NC 121 was dropped from the numbering system.
