Pender County

Pender County, North Carolina has a truly captivating history - from the renowned pirate Blackbeard rumored to have roamed its coastal waters during the 17th century, to the strong volunteer force that helped build and maintain the bustling rural county it is today. Over forty years ago, Pender was coined an official county and began a journey of unique hometown pride. From large-scale agricultural endeavors such as, being home to some of the best cotton and tobacco fields on the east coast; to pioneering healthcare providers delivering quality care to entire generations of families across all five townships in Pender County, this rustic community has been actively growing since 1970 and will continue to be a cornerstone area in southeastern NC.
