== Fun facts ==
* On the night of July 24–25, 1943, a German U-boat fired at least three shells to attack the Ethyl-Dow Chemical Company plant at Kure's Beach (post-war: Kure Beach), but instead hit the Cape Fear River. The plant was the only one on the East Coast producing bromine from seawater for use in aviation gasoline. Other historians dispute whether the attack actually occurred, and there is no corroborating physical evidence or logs from the German Navy.
* Fort Fisher is located just south of Kure Beach.
