Situated in the eastern part of North Carolina along State Route 211 and 242 sits Bladenboro, a charming small town that made its name in the turpentine and lumber industries. The town experienced a boom when a railroad line was built through the area in the mid-1800’s, but today it’s a quiet small town with heaps of charm. There are single-story homes and affordable duplexes for rent just minutes away from the center of town. You’ll find Chinese restaurants, ice cream shops, and locally owned convenience stores along Seaboard Street, the town’s main thoroughfare. The cities of Wilmington and Fayetteville are both well within an hour’s drive of Bladenboro, but you might find it hard to leave the charming atmosphere of this historic town.
