Bladen County, County division in North Carolina, US
Located in southeastern North Carolina, Bladen County extends across 887 square miles of land with the Cape Fear River flowing through its territory.
The county, established in 1734 during colonial times, received its name from Martin Bladen, a British member of the Board of Trade.
The region maintains a diverse agricultural landscape where farmers contribute to local production through tobacco fields, pork processing facilities, and crop cultivation.
Residents access government services and attend county meetings at the Bladen County Courthouse, located in the administrative center of Elizabethtown.
This territory earned recognition as the mother county of North Carolina, as 55 of the state's current 100 counties originated from its original boundaries.
