The MacRae-Brazier Map of 1833 lists only six towns or named locations between 
Wilmington and Weldon that existed prior to the railroad that would eventually 
become railroad towns - South Washington, Wrightsville Post Office, 
Waynesborough, Rocky Mount, Enfield and Halifax.

Not listed on the map, but existing in 1833, was Duplin Cross Roads, the site of 
a post office. By 1858, stations listed with their agents between Wilmington and 
Weldon included Marlboro, Leesburg, Teachey’s, Magnolia, Warsaw, Bowdens, Faison, 
Mount Olive, Dudley, Everettsville, Goldsboro, Pikeville, Nahunta, Black Creek, 
Wilson, Joyner’s Depot, Rocky Mount, Battleboro, Enfield and Halifax.
