About Elizabethtown, North Carolina
Elizabethtown is a town of 3,296 people and the county seat of Bladen County, set on bluffs along the west bank of the Cape Fear River. Bladen's courthouse first stood in 1738 at a settlement called Elizabeth, 3.5 miles upriver, until a fire in the late 1760s burned the village, its courthouse and its records. Settlers then moved downstream, and in November 1773 the General Assembly chartered Elizabethtown on 100 acres taken from Isaac Jones, who ran a ferry there.
Five trustees divided the land into 120 half-acre lots, sold for 40 shillings apiece, and reserved three acres for a courthouse, a jail and a workhouse, though the Revolution held up construction for more than a decade. Steamboats running between Wilmington and Fayetteville later made the town a small river port for farm goods and naval stores. Factories arrived in the 1970s, and the population grew from 1,418 in 1970 to 3,551 in 1980.
- The Battle of Tory Hole, 1781After Loyalists took Wilmington in 1781, they kept a garrison in Elizabethtown. Sallie Salter entered the camp pretending to sell eggs and brought what she saw back to the Patriots. On the night of August 27, 1781, about 60 militiamen surprised the garrison and drove more than 300 Loyalists into a deep ravine near the river, now called Tory Hole. The victory ended Loyalist control of the area, and a state marker went up on Main Street in 1939.
- Three courthouse firesFire followed Bladen's courthouse to Elizabethtown. The wooden building burned in 1800, taking nearly every colonial county record except land deeds, and a new one went up on the public square in 1802. In 1893 the brick courthouse burned too, along with most records from before and during the Civil War. A new courthouse followed the next year, and the one standing today was built in 1965.
- Lock, dam and bridgeThe Army Corps of Engineers finished Lock and Dam No. 2 at Brown's Landing in 1917 to keep the Cape Fear open to shipping all year. In 1925 the McGirt Bridge replaced the old ferry, tying the north and south halves of Bladen County together for the first time. The locks closed in the 1990s, ending the town's river trade.
- Jones Lake State Park, 1939The federal Resettlement Administration gave the state the acreage it held near the Carolina bays, and Jones Lake State Park opened north of town in 1939. It was the first North Carolina state park open to African Americans during segregation, and it drew Black visitors from all over the Cape Fear region.
- The 1948 lumber strikeIn 1948 more than 200 African American workers walked off the job at the Greene Brothers Lumber Company, the biggest employer in the region, and the strike drew national attention. It was part of Operation Dixie, the Congress of Industrial Organizations' campaign to challenge Jim Crow in the South.
