Wilmington prides itself if being an economically well-rounded coastal community. Yet, this growing city has still maintained the southern simplicity of a small town atmosphere.
Our healthy and stable economy is the result of our diversity. The area offers thriving tourism, a wealth of manufacturing by some of the most influential companies such as General Electric, Corning and International Paper, a port used for international trade and an abundance of health care providers.
Wilmington's residential communities offer breathtaking appeal, and we are well known for our higher education, numerous historical attractions, jazz and community festivals, 31 miles of relaxing beaches and a $2.5 billion film industry. Find out more about our community.
