Bladen County, North Carolina
Bladen County is a rural, forested coastal-plain county centered on Elizabethtown, its seat, with Bladenboro and the lake resort of White Lake as its other notable communities. The Smithfield Foods Tar Heel plant, the world's largest pork processing facility, anchors employment alongside hog and row-crop farming, while White Lake draws separate seasonal cottage and vacation-home demand from the county's flat, low-priced farmland.
