About Fayetteville, North Carolina
Fayetteville is a city in and the county seat of Cumberland County, North Carolina, United States. Merchants in Wilmington, wanted a town on the Cape Fear River to secure trade with the frontier country. They were afraid people would use the Pee Dee River and transport their goods to Charleston, South Carolina. The merchants bought land from Newberry in Cross Creek. An October 2023 study released by Americans for the Arts, found that nonprofit arts and culture organizations in Fayetteville and Cumberland County created $72.2 million in total economic activity in 2022, supported over 1100 jobs, provided $44.1 million in personal income to residents and generated $9.5 million in local, state and federal tax revenue.
