== Fun facts ==
* The Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad is headquartered in Aberdeen.
* South of Aberdeen is the Legacy Golf Links.
* In the early twentieth century, tobacco farming came to the town. Aberdeen's proximity to Pinehurst resulted in a boom in the tourism and retirement industries, which remain a major part of the local economy today.
* Over 1,500 residents of what is now Aberdeen participated in the Civil War. Nearly one-third of the soldiers sent were killed, which decimated the labor supply. After the Civil War, however, the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad connected the community of Blue's Crossing to the rest of the country, allowing them to sell their naval stores and timber to the rest of the country.
* One of the earliest industries of Bethesda and Blue's Crossing was naval stores due to the abundance of pine trees in the area. These goods were transported to market initially via the Cape Fear River to Wilmington, and later by plank road.
* Aberdeen has a bit of amenities to offer. It has dollar stores, Harris Teeter, a couple of shopping centers, a few fast food places and chain restaurants, Aldi, Railhouse Brewery, a bit of local restaurants and businesses, Thai Orchid Restaurant, Mazatlan Restaurant, two sports complexes, some public battle fields, and a few other things.
