FAIR BLUFF
Fair Bluff’s early location and economy was dictated by the course of the Lumber River and the former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. For the past 50 years it’s economy has been based upon agriculture. Now, Fair Bluff is attempting to modify itself to cope with the demands of the 21st century.
By using the advantages of an agrarian society that requires: (1) a recognition of reality, (2) a commitment to faith, and (3) a persistence of effort, Fair Bluff has been able to keep its social institutions and work ethic alive while cultivating new and productive ways of dealing with the rapidly changing environment of the last several years.
