History
[edit]The area of Sampson County that contains present-day Ivanhoe was first settled by the Scots in 1739, who travelled northwest through the lower Cape Fear Valley. The Scots stopping in Ivanhoe discovered a cash crop in abundance; the longleaf pine. The local economy soon consisted of tar, charcoal, turpentine, and timber. The Black River served as their connection to the seaport; located first at Brunswick Town and later Wilmington.[4]
The Beatty-Corbett House, Black River Presbyterian and Ivanhoe Baptist Churches, and Delta Farm were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[5]
