Burgaw, NC
Founded in the late 19th century, Burgaw’s roots run deep in the history of North Carolina’s railways. The town came to life thanks to the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad Company, which laid its tracks across Burgaw Creek. What began as a modest crossroads trading post soon flourished into a bustling community built around the rhythm of the railroad.
Today, Burgaw proudly preserves that heritage while offering the warmth and hospitality of small-town life. Nestled in the heart of Pender County, this charming town blends history, culture, and opportunity. Visitors are welcomed by friendly faces, tree-lined streets, and a picturesque downtown that showcases beautifully preserved historic architecture.
Beyond its timeless appeal, Burgaw is also a thriving community with convenient access to modern amenities. Its location provides both a peaceful escape and close proximity to the larger urban centers of the Cape Fear region. With a growing economy, vibrant local events, and an enduring sense of community pride, Burgaw is more than a place to visit—it’s a place to experience.
