New Hanover County, located in southeastern North Carolina, was formed in 1729 from Craven County. Its county seat, Wilmington, was established in 1739 and lies along the Cape Fear River. This region played a significant role in the history of North Carolina and the United States.
During the colonial era, Wilmington emerged as an important port city, with agricultural produce and naval stores becoming its primary exports. The area was also significant during the American Revolutionary War. In 1781, the Battle of Guilford Courthouse occurred not far from New Hanover County, leading to the eventual American victory in the south.
The Civil War brought further attention to New Hanover County, as Wilmington became a crucial supply center for the Confederate army. The city was the last major Southern port to fall to Union forces in 1865.
In more recent history, the region has experienced significant growth due to its location along the Atlantic coast, with many people moving to the area for its climate and economic opportunities. The county's economy is currently driven by industries such as education, healthcare, film production, and tourism.
A fun fact about New Hanover County is that several movies and television shows have been filmed there, including popular productions like "Dawson's Creek," "One Tree Hill," and "Iron Man 3." This has earned Wilmington the nickname of "Hollywood East."
