== Fun facts ==
* In 2005, Congress passed the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act, resulting in several new commands relocating to Fort Bragg. These include the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and U.S. Army Reserve Command, both of which relocated from Fort McPherson in Atlanta. More than 30,000 people were expected to relocate to the area with associated businesses and families. FORSCOM awards over $300 billion in contracts annually.
* Fayetteville serves as one of Southeastern North Carolina's two major hubs, the other being Wilmington. Economy isn't that diverse, though. Fort Bragg is the economy's backbone for both the city and county.
* Fayetteville's local TV news affiliates are out of Raleigh, although a couple of Wilmington networks do overlap depending on your provider.
* Fayetteville had 3,500 residents in 1820, but Cumberland County's population still ranked as the second-most urban in the state behind New Hanover County (Wilmington). Its "Great Fire" of 1831 was believed to be one of the worst in the nation's history, although no lives were lost. Hundreds of homes and businesses and most of the best-known public buildings were lost, including the old "State House". Fayetteville leaders moved quickly to help the victims and rebuild the town.
* Fayetteville Regional Airport serves the city and surrounding area. In addition, the city is home to Fayetteville State University, Methodist University and Fayetteville Technical Community College.
* There's no shortage of amenities Fayetteville has to offer. Every big retail name, chain restaurant and fast food chain in this part of the nation you could name, along with Cross Creek Mall, Marketfair Mall and plenty of other shopping centers, Southeast Carolina Battle Academy, plenty of sports complexes, some contest halls and showcase theaters, plenty of public battle fields, Solstice Apparel, plenty of hotels/motels, dollar stores, electric showers, Cape Fear Botanical Garden, plenty of golfing and other recreational opportunities, and much more.
