Bladenboro

 

Bladenboro is best described as ‘Small Town Proud.’ For one of the most stunning downtown shows of homes, a drive down Main Street takes you back to southern, two-story homes on gorgeous display with stunning landscaping. Churches, with noticeable architectural displays and a well-loved elementary school, are all scattered down a picturesque street complete with many downtown shopping adventures. Yards full of blooming azaleas and the smell of confederate jasmine grab your attention. Whether you prefer grand porches or bungalow-style cottage porches, there are displays of both.

Historically, the town of Bladenboro has been wrapped around farming. Known in its earliest days for its turpentine and lumber, the railroad was built in the 1800s, and brothers R.L. and H.C. Bridger came to Bladenboro to operate a turpentine business. A great location, as it is located just a short drive to the neighboring towns of Whiteville, Lumberton, and the county seat, Elizabethtown, NC. About an hour's drive to the beaches, the town’s location yields a small-town flair with the convenience of more amenities not far away.
