Fence Contractor in Varnamtown NC

Varnamtown is a small, close-knit fishing village situated on the banks of the Lockwood Folly River in Brunswick County. With a population of around 600 residents, Varnamtown has preserved its maritime heritage and working waterfront character even as surrounding areas have developed. Local shrimp boats still bring in fresh seafood, and families who have lived here for generations continue the traditions of fishing, oystering, and boat building that define this community.

Incorporated in 1988, Varnamtown deliberately chose to maintain its rural, single-family residential character. The town emphasizes sustainable growth while protecting the natural resources and waterfront access that make this community special. This means properties here often have direct river access, private docks, and the kind of peaceful waterfront living that's increasingly rare along North Carolina's coast.

Properties near the Lockwood Folly River face salt air exposure, high humidity, potential flooding, and the need to maintain access to docks and boats.

The Lockwood Folly River has supported fishing families for generations. The Varnam, Dixon, and other local families established themselves as premier boat builders and watermen, making their living from oysters, clams, shrimp, and the "whole spectrum of fisheries" as one longtime resident described. That maritime heritage continues today — local shrimp boats like the High Rider still work these waters, and the town maintains its identity as a working waterfront community.

When Varnamtown incorporated in 1988, all but four residents voted for incorporation — a strong statement about community cohesion and shared values. The town has deliberately limited commercial development, maintaining its residential, single-family character while surrounding areas have seen significant growth. This makes Varnamtown increasingly unique: a genuine fishing village within driving distance of Wilmington's amenities.
