Celebrating our 250th Anniversary in 2023

The Town of Elizabethtown is a dynamic municipality located in Bladen County in the eastern region of North Carolina, with just over 3,500 residents.   We strive to embrace our rich history while managing our present and embracing our future to create a high-quality and unique place for families and businesses alike.

Elizabethtown is one of the best-kept secrets in North Carolina. An exceptional climate, natural recreational riches, combined with a relaxed, rural lifestyle to fulfill the dreams and visions of those who live in and relocate to one of America's best small towns.

Elizabethtown's residents enjoy the benefits of small-town living with proximity to urban areas. Our residents enjoy easy commuting to and from Fayetteville and Wilmington and various recreational activities, including the beauty of neighboring White Lake, all vital elements of a low-stress lifestyle.

Elizabethtown is home to The Curtis L. Brown, Jr. Field Airport. The Airport is easily accessible from US Hwy 701 and Hwy 87. The Airport offers AV-gas and jet fuel, with available single-point fueling and limited fixed and rotary-wing maintenance to care for your aircraft and rental hangars. We realize the importance of caring for you and your travel companions, and courteous and friendly staff will greet you.   Courtesy car, catering, pilot lounge, conference room, and classroom space are available to you and your guests.

Elizabethtown is where families develop roots and residents take pride in independence.   We are a "first name" community where the person behind the counter isn't a stranger but someone who knows you by name. Our staff and community leaders are implementing projects to ensure Elizabethtown is a destination for business development and relocation. Won't you join us?
