Abstract:

Industry, the tourism trade, and agriculture have combined to aid Dunn in its rapid growth and development. Lying in a fertile corner of Harnett, Johnston, Cumberland, and Sampson Counties, Dunn has long been the trading center of this section of eastern North Carolina. For several decades Dunn has also been known as the largest wagon cotton market in the state. It is also located on the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad -- the midway point between New York and Miami.
