Abstract:
Settled around 1730, Swansboro, in Onslow County, was a busy Revolutionary War port with a major shipbuilding industry. After the Civil War, the shipping industry declined and was replaced by lumber and fishing interests. Today Swansboro is a picturesque town filled with shops, restaurants, and historic homes, a place many tourists miss in their haste to reach their beach rentals.
