North Carolina Highway 207 (NC 207) is a primary state highway in the state of North Carolina. It is entirely within the boundaries of Union County and serves to connect the city of Monroe, North Carolina to the city of Pageland, South Carolina via South Carolina Highway 207 (SC 207).
From the North Carolina-South Carolina state line, NC 207 is a two-lane rural highway traversing north through rolling hills of farmland. Once it enters Monroe city limits, it becomes Haynes Street, where it connects several neighborhoods until it reaches the downtown business district. At Franklin Street, the road widens to four-lanes. At Church Street, it becomes Skyway Drive, continuing over the CSX rail yard it continue due north till it reaches Roosevelt Boulevard, where NC 207 ends at an interchange with U.S. Route 74 (US 74), US 601, and NC 200. Outside Monroe city limits, it is known and labeled as Wolf Pond Road.
The second and current NC 207 was established in 1948 as a new primary route from the South Carolina state line to US 74/NC 151/NC 200 (Franklin Street) in Monroe. The highway is a continuation of SC 207, which predates it. Between 1958-62, NC 207 was truncated at Morrow Street; and then was extended to Church Street between 1969 and 1982. On August 2011, NC 207 was extended along Skyway Drive to US 74/US 601/NC 200 (Roosevelt Boulevard), after NC 200 was relocated bypassing west of Monroe.
