Abstract:

Lumberton is celebrating its centennial in 1952 because, although founded in 1787, the town was not incorporated until 1852. Sustained through the tobacco industry, Lumberton has continued to expand in population as well as facilities. This article offers information regarding tax rates, the tobacco industry, and the origins of town's name.
