It was founded in 1787 by John Willis, an officer in the [[American Revolution]]. This was developed as a shipping point for [[lumber]] used by the Navy, and logs were guided downriver to [[Georgetown, South Carolina]]. Most of the town's growth took place after [[World War II]].<!-- why? --> [[David Lynch]]'s 1986 film ''[[Blue Velvet (film)|Blue Velvet]]'' was set in Lumberton; however filming took place in [[Wilmington, North Carolina|Wilmington]].<ref>{{cite book | title=Some of Me | first=Isabella | last=Rossellini | year=1997 | publisher=Random House | location=New York | isbn=978-0-679-45252-2 | url-access=registration | url=https://archive.org/details/someofme00ross }}</ref> ==History== Robeson County, [[North Carolina]], was formed in 1787. General John Willis, owner of the Red Banks plantation, lobbied to have the county's new seat of government located on his land. The site of Lumberton was chosen due to its central location in the county, proximity to a reliable [[Ford (crossing)|ford]] of the Lumber River, and as it was where several roads intersected. Willis turned over 170 acres, which were surveyed and disbursed in a lottery held under the auspices of the county court on August 14, 1787. As the site was heavily forested, trees were felled to make way for a courthouse, business and residential lots, streets, a commons, and a public square. The first courthouse was a wooden residence sold by Willis to the county and moved into place after the land was clear. Lumberton was formally created by an act of the [[North Carolina General Assembly]] on November 3, 1788, which granted the town a charter and the power to levy taxes. The community was named in homage to the Lumber River.<ref name= lottery>{{cite news | title = Lumberton Lots Disposed Of By Lottery; By 1852 Town Had Mayor, Three Stores; Growth Phenomenal In Last Century| newspaper = The Robesonian | page = 1A| date = February 26, 1951| url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/112525594/the-robesonian/}}</ref> Aside from the courthouse, the first buildings in Lumberton were a handful of brick structures built near the river, which included a hotel, stores, and warehouses, which were stocked by goods sent up the river from Georgetown, South Carolina.<ref name= lottery/> The community's first school was established by Willis in 1791.<ref>{{cite news| title = Lumberton's First School Began 1791| newspaper = The Robesonian | page = 1A| date = February 26, 1951| url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/112552210/lumbertons-first-school/}}</ref> The town had a post office by 1796.
