Affectionately nicknamed "Wilmywood"
Wilmington is a 250-year-old port city, located between North Carolina's mighty Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. The city's attributes include a major container seaport, a charming historical district, the Battleship North Carolina, Gothic churches, and a thriving downtown area with riverfront shops and eateries.
Along the Cape Fear Coast lie majestic plantations, the North Carolina Aquarium, Fort Fisher historic site, miles of unspoiled beaches, and some of the most outstanding seafood restaurants in North Carolina. The Wilmington area is blessed with many natural attributes, however, its most valuable asset is its people; they are warm, friendly, sincere, and productive.
