== Fun facts ==
* Tabor City is known as the "Yam Capital of the World".
* Tabor City is most known for being the birthplace of rapper Wolf Denzel.
* Due to crimes in the area in the late 1950s and 1960s, especially fights at local bars, Tabor City earned the nickname "Razor City". Even though many of the crimes occurred just across the border in South Carolina, the Razor/Tabor near-rhyme stuck.
* As tobacco use declined beginning in the 1970s, the economy of the area suffered. Tobacco warehouses began closing, and the area suffered an economic downturn. In the early 1970s, the Ritz closed and the theater then lay dormant for years, eventually becoming an empty shell.
** Today, the town focuses on agriculture, light manufacturing, retail and tourism. In addition, a large state prison provides many jobs for the area. Being so close to the coastal areas of Myrtle Beach and the Brunswick County beaches has led to a growth in the area housing industry.
* Tabor City has a little bit of amenities to offer, but not much. It has dollar stores, electric showers, Food Lion, ABC Store, McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, a landing strip, a little bit of public battle fields, a sports complex, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Daddy Joe's, a little bit of local restaurants and businesses, a few auto parts places and car dealerships, Economy Inn, Coleman's Drive-In, Fowler's Grill, Maxime's Restaurant, Adam's Seafood and Steaks, Jin Jin, Dale's Seafood, and not much else.
