About Us:

Warsaw, North Carolina is a pleasant and productive community nestled in amongst the undulating green fields and woods of the southeastern part of the state. Yet despite it s quite rural disposition, Warsaw is neither isolated nor behind the times. In fact, it is intersected by three prominent highways (US 117, NC 24 and 50), and is served by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad and two exits on Interstate 40.

In 1838, the present day town of Warsaw was laid out into lots along a new rail line that ran from Wilmington to Weldon, North Carolina. The are was then know as Duplin Depot, but the name was shortly thereafter changed to Mooresville. During the same year, a merchant named Thaddeus Love moved to town to be the stationmaster of the Duplin Depot. At the time, a biography of a Polish national hero, Tadeusz Kosciuszko, was extremely popular. The Joane Porter book, entitled Thaddeus of Warsaw, furnished Thaddeus Love a catchy nickname. In fact, Love's nickname was so appealing, that by 1847, the community was already known in legal circles as "Warsaw Depot." When the town was incorporated in 1855, the community was officially designated as Warsaw
