The first NC 182 appeared in 1930 as new primary routing. Ran from NC 18 Shelby northwest to Polkville, then north to Casar before looping back eastward around to NC 18 Bellwood.
In 1931, NC 182 from Polkville to Shelby was renumbered to NC 190 (today it is NC 226 except right in Shelby it used Grover St).
In 1938, NC 182 was renumbered as part of NC 27 except for Carpenters Grove Church Rd SR 1614 below Curt Joe Ledford Rd.

Comment: NC 182 doesn't seem like it would be a through route for many people.
