Wilson offers such a wide array of choices, the biggest challenge for visitors, is deciding what to do first.

Wilson is named for General Louis Dickens Wilson (1789-1841) who was a state senator. Southern Hospitality and home town charm are a tradition here.
Incorporated in 1849 as a farm market, Wilson has taken great care to preserve its past. Titled one of North Carolina's most beautiful cities consisting of an abundance of treasures and simple pleasures, Wilson is full of fun, nostalgia, and historic sites, for you to enjoy.
