History of Robeson County
The area eventually comprising Robeson was initially inhabited by Native Americans, though little is known about them. A Native community eventually coalesced around the swamps near Lumber River, which bisects the area. In the mid-18th century, Scottish, English, French, and free black settlers occupied the county. The population remained sparse for decades due to the lack of suitable land for farming, and timber and naval stores formed a crucial part of the early economy. The proliferation of the cotton gin and rising demand for cotton led Robeson County to become one of the state's major cotton-producing counties throughout the 1800s. The Lowry War was fought between a group of mostly-Native American outlaws and local authorities during the latter stages of the American Civil War and through the Reconstruction era.
