History
NC 135 was designated in 1967 as an upgrade of SR 2138; the highway roughly followed its current routing. In 2000, the designation shortened to end at a rerouted NC 770. The US 311 designation was added to NC 135 in 2004.[3]
The highway was named after James Jefferson Webster Sr., a local store owner, dairy farmer, and politician who served as a Rockingham County commissioner from 1944 until 1952. His store was destroyed to make room for the highway's expansion.[4] On July 7, 1995 at the recommendation of Douglas Gaylon, the North Carolina Board of Transportation passed a resolution officially dedicating North Carolina Highway 135 in Rockingham County in his name.[5] A formal dedication ceremony took place at 11:00 A.M. on October 28, 1998 at Dalton L. McMichael High School, attended by Rep. Virginia Foxx and Commissioner Patricia Wright Gwyn.[6]
