Rich Culture
Established in 1739, Wilmington is a city of immense culture, unique beauty, and captivating history.
The streets of the city are lined with ancient oak trees, sprinkled with Spanish moss. The city also boasts beautiful neoclassical architecture, which is best viewed on a narrated horse-drawn carriage tour.
The region of Southeastern North Carolina is in no shortage of water. It’s a way of life in Coastal Carolina. The Cape Fear River, once known as "Sapona" by the Native Americans, "River Jordan" by the Spanish, and "Charles" by the English, is the main feature of the historic downtown area, with over two miles of river walk. The Wilmington Riverwalk recently won over a new accolade, "America's Best Riverfront." It is easy to see why, once you experience the wide variety of boutique shops and array of dining options, all with the backdrop of the swift Cape Fear River.
Wilmington is also known as the "Port City." This is because of the large port located 30 miles from the mouth of the Cape Fear River. The port plays an integral role in Wilmington’s bustling economy.
Hollywood of the East
Wilmington has another nickname, Wilmywood, with films such as, Iron Man 3, Safe Haven, and The Conjuring all featuring this beautiful city as their backdrop.
