…tidbits about Southport, North Carolina.
1. Because Southport is so close to Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, many TV shows and movies have been filmed there. You can see Southport in episodes of Dawson’s Creek, and in the movies I Know What You Did Last Summer and A Walk to Remember (and many more).
2. Fort Johnston, North Carolina’s first fort, was established in Southport in 1754.
3. Southport is considered the Fourth of July Capitol of North Carolina. The town was one of the firsts in the state to celebrate the holiday and now hosts the official North Carolina Independence Day Celebration.
4. Originally named Smithville, the town name was changed to Southport in 1887 as part of a promotional effort to create a major Southern port. It didn’t work.
5. Probably most importantly: Southport is the setting for my novel Incubus.
