History & History Related Items

Lumber Bridge history:

A toll bridge was built over Little Marsh Swamp and was owned and operated by Levi Glass, one of the original land grant owners in the late 1700's. He collected a toll of 50 cents for each person crossing the bridge on the way to Fayetteville. Because Fayetteville was an important city in the eastern portion of the state at that time, the bridge had great use. The town of Lumber Bridge takes its name from this toll bridge. It was also the first lumber bridge built in the county. The town was incorporated in 1891.

In 1907, Lumber Bridge had the first accredited eastern North Carolina high school. The school, though it had strong academic programs, was closed in 1931 because of a declining population in the area.

During the 1930's and 40's, Lumber Bridge, along with many small towns, had large job losses which cause local economy to falter. By the beginning of the 21st century, Lumber Bridge began to wake up with new industry and business coming into the area.
