'''Castle Hayne''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[New Hanover County, North Carolina|New Hanover County]], [[North Carolina]], United States. The population was 1,202 at the 2010 census, up from 1,116 in 2000. It is part of the [[Wilmington, North Carolina|Wilmington]] [[Wilmington metropolitan area|Metropolitan Statistical Area]].

The forest provided the region's major industries through the 18th and most of the 19th century: [[naval stores]] and lumber fueled the economy both before and after the American Revolution. During the Revolutionary War, the British maintained a garrison at [[Fort Johnson]] near [[Wilmington, North Carolina|Wilmington]]. After suffering crippling losses [[Battle of Guilford Court House|at Guilford Court House]], the British withdrew all forces back to Fort Johnson and abandoned plans to occupy North Carolina. This prompted the British to [[Siege of Yorktown|attack Yorktown]], Virginia instead, which brought an end to the war.

== History ==
The town took its name from the large house of Captain Roger Haynes.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=fccsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ixMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4950%2C433192 | title=Local history offers tasty tidbits | work=Star-News | date=Apr 17, 1983 | access-date=1 November 2015 | author=Proffitt, Martie | pages=8C}}</ref>
