The History of Wilmington
Originally referred to as New town, New London, and New Carthage, it was eventually named Wilmington after Spencer Compton (the first Earl of Wilmington) in 1740.
During the Civil War, the port of Wilmington was the location of an important base for the Confederate blockade runners who sought to circumvent the blockade mounted by Union forces to starve the city of goods received from the South. Fort Fisher fell to Union forces during the largest navel bombardment of the 19th century, and soon thereafter, the city fell to the Union Army in the Battle of Wilmington in 1865.
After the Civil War, Wilmington was the largest city in the state and an economic powerhouse. Like many cities in the south, reconstruction was a difficult period for the city, marred with violence and racial tension.
The Wilmington Insurrection of 1898 ended with near 100 black residents killed and over 2,000 professional and middle-class blacks leaving the city.
WWII saw the port city turn it’s focus to shipbuilding, and near 250 ships were built there to support the allied war effort. The city also housed a small number of German prisoners of war.
