New Hanover County covers just 199 square miles. It was formed in 1729 from Craven County and was named for the House of Hanover, the ruling family of Britain at the time. Although the county is one of the state’s smallest in land size, it is also one of the most densely populated.
Wilmington
City Hall, 102 N. Third St. Wilmington, NC 28402
910-341-7800

History: Since its incorporation in 1739, Wilmington has been the center of education, commerce and culture in Southeastern North Carolina. Its location along the Cape Fear River helped “the Port City” to prosper. Wilmington was a center of revolutionary activity in the 1760s and 1770s. It was a site of an early protest against British taxation and during the Civil War, Confederate blockade runners operated out of Wilmington, with the city being the last Atlantic Coast port of the Confederacy to remain open. During the 20th century Wilmington became an industrial center.
Interesting Fact: Before it was named Wilmington in 1739, the site of Wilmington was called New Carthage, then New Liverpool, then Newton or New Town.
Carolina Beach
Town Hall, 1121 N. Lake Park Blvd. Carolina Beach, NC 28428

History: Carolina Beach was established in 1857 when Joseph L. Winner bought 50 acres of beach property in southern New Hanover County and planned streets and lots. He called the town St. Joseph, but when the town incorporated in 1926 the town was renamed Carolina Beach. In the early 1900s, Capt. John W. Harper ran a ferry on the Cape Fear River between the beach and Wilmington and was active in the beach’s development. In 1962, a high-rise bridge was built over Snow’s Cut, connecting the island to the mainland.
Interesting Fact: Some of Carolina Beach’s notable historical sites include the Boardwalk, which dates back to 1887, Fort Fisher and various buildings that have been “plaqued” through the Federal Point Historic Preservation Society, such as Carolina Beach Drug Store built around 1941, Carolina Beach Community Church and others.

History: Hans Anderson Kure, born in Copenhagen, Denmark, came to Wilmington in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s, he bought land near the southern end of New Hanover County, including property that would eventually be named for his family.

In 1923 his son, Lawrence Kure, built a pier, and people who came to see the land around it called it Kure’s beach. The town was incorporated in 1947.
Interesting Fact: The Kure Beach pier built by Lawrence Kure was destroyed by Hurricane Hazel in 1954, but the pier was rebuilt.

Tire Safety
Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits (not carrying more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can safely handle), avoiding road hazards, and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires.
