Some History

Lots of towns have been named after war heroes, and Fayetteville was the first town to get its name from the revolutionary war hero Marquis De Lafayette. This was the only town he actually visited.

In 1789, the University of North Carolina, America's oldest state university, was chartered in Fayetteville.

Fayetteville's Great Fire in 1831, which destroyed many buildings, was more devastating than the 1871 Chicago Fire or the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.
