Erwin is a town in Harnett County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 4,405 at the 2010 census. Erwin is a part of the Dunn Micropolitan Area, which is also a part of the greater Raleigh–Durham–Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA) as defined by the United States Census Bureau. ==History== Erwin’s history stretches back to colonial times through its connections to the nearby colonial settlement of Averasboro. Here, Timber Rafters along the Cape Fear River would stop for the night and resupply. Although long abandoned, historical accounts of Averasboro during the Revolutionary War and as the site of one of the last battles of the Civil War bring a rich history to Erwin that can still be explored today. In 1904, the Duke family built the iconic Erwin Cotton Mill, which closed in 2000 because of newer technologies. Duke named the town after his last name, Duke. In 1925, there were a number of houses built along West C Street. Because of Duke University changing its name, Duke finally changed its name to Erwin in 1926. In 1970, those houses along West C Street were remodeled. Oak Grove and the Averasboro Battlefield Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erwin, North Carolina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
