Contrary to popular assumption, Lincoln County is not named after President Lincoln but rather General Benjamin Lincoln. Fayetteville is named after the original Fayetteville, NC.
The Fayetteville Lincoln County Museum was established in 1985. It was originally a Borden milk plant started in 1927 distributing 1lb boxes of butter and dried goods for soldiers during all of World War II. The museum still has the original red glaze brick floors with the drains they used to clean the milk plant daily. The reason the Bordin milk plant even came to Fayetteville is because the President of Coca-Cola begged Northern Industries to bring industries to the South. The plant was given to the Museum by William Carter.
