New Hanover County sits between two mighty forces, the vast Atlantic to the East and the busy Cape Fear River to the West. The county has thrived on its relaxed atmosphere, scenic beaches, charming downtown and rich culture and history. Wilmington, the largest of the area’s four municipalities, serves as the county seat.  Carolina, Kure and Wrightsville Beaches round out our diverse community. Click Here to read more.
