Harnett CountyHarnett County in North Carolina was founded in 1855 from part of Cumberland County. It was named after Cornelius Harnett, a member of the Continental Congress. The county seat is in Lillington, but the largest city is Dunn. I focus primarily on Western and Southern Harnett County. This part of Harnett County has historically been very rural, with the major occupation being farming. As more people have moved to the region, this part of Harnett County has become a bedroom community to Fort Bragg, Pope Air Force Base, and Raleigh. There are no major cities in this area but there are many subdivisions, and retail shopping is beginning to expand into Western and Southern Harnett County. This area is part of what Carolina residents call the Sandhills. This is the part of the state where the last hills fade into the costal plains. Harnett County has some of the same gentle hills made famous by golf courses such as Pinehurst in neighboring Moore County. This part of Harnett County has several golf communities, such as Carolina Lakes, Anderson Creek, and Carolina Seasons. One of my favorite places to visit in Harnett County is Raven Rock State Park. This park is divided by the Cape Fear River. This part of the Cape Fear River cuts through what is called the fall line. This is where the river falls through the last rocky hills before the costal plain. At this point, large rocky cliffs rise above the river. These cliffs were named Raven Rock after the birds nesting in the crevices. The top photo on the right was taken from the top of these cliffs, which offer a fantastic view.
