History

The Great Depression and World War II markedly altered the character of the town. As of the 2000 United States Census Census, the population was 7,691. Subsequent grants, private investment, and town monies have maintained the forward momentum, so that the town now has a new sea wall, underground utilities, brick paved walkways with planters along the waterfront, all in the downtown area, and tree-lined streets, renovated houses, new docks and new businesses. The town was officially incorporated by the North Carolina Senate in 1860, by which time the town’s population had grown to more than 300. The town was laid out in city blocks of 16 lots each, reaching to 15th Street, with a system of alleys within each block in the form of an H, so that all houses and businesses could be serviced from the alleys.
