Abstract:

Industrially speaking, Wilmington is primarily a port - the city is located on the Cape Fear River, 30 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. But a big factor in the upbuilding of Wilmington has also been the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad as well as the lumber and naval stores business, and commercial fishing.
