History:
Established by French colonists in 1716, Wilmington is one of the oldest and most important European settlements in the lower North Carolina River Valley. After the French lost the French and Indian War (Seven Years’ War), they ceded Wilmington and near territory to Spain in the Treaty of Paris of 1763. (It later traded other territory east of the North Carolina River with Great Britain, which expanded what it called West Florida).
After the United States acquired this area from the British after the American Revolutionary War, the city served as the capital of the American North Carolina Territory and then of the state of North Carolina. It predates Jackson by more than a century; the latter replaced Wilmington as the capital in 1822, as it was more centrally located in the developing state. The strategic location of Wilmington, on a bluff overlooking the North Carolina River, ensured that it would be a pivotal center of trade, commerce, and the interchange of ethnic Native American, European, and African cultures in the region; it held this position for two centuries after its founding.
New Hanover County was created on April 2, 1799, from part of Pickering Territorial County. The county was organized eighteen years before North Carolina became a state. Four North Carolina governors have come from New Hanover County: David Holmes, George Poindexter, John A. Quitman, and Gerard Brandon.
Today the City Limits encompass approximately 13.92 square miles, and approximately 15,128 people call Wilmington home, according to 2015 estimates by the U.S. Census.
