Happy Anniversary Duplin County!

From Duplin County Government Facebook

Happy Anniversary, Duplin County! Duplin County was first formed by the General Assembly in New Bern on April 7, 1750, from what was the northern part of New Hanover County. At that time the boundaries of Duplin County included what would eventually become Sampson County. Duplin was named after Sir Thomas Hays, Lord Dupplin, who served on the Board of Trade and Plantations for the Crown in the 1740s.
