The Colonel Thomas Robeson Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), is located in Lumberton, North Carolina. The City of Lumberton was created by an Act of the North Carolina General Assembly, in 1787, and was named the county seat of Robeson County. Lumberton was incorporated in 1859.
Robeson County is located in the Coastal Plains region of southeastern North Carolina. The county was created from Bladen County, in 1786, by two American Revolutionary War heroes and residents of the area, General John Willis, and Colonel Thomas Robeson. The county was named after Colonel Robeson and the land for the county seat was donated by General Willis, who is also credited with naming the county seat Lumberton.
Lumberton is located on the Lumber River. The Lumber River State Park, 115 miles of natural and scenic waterway, flows through Lumberton. The river was designated as a National Wild and Scenic River and is part of the North Carolina Natural and Scenic River System. The Lumber River has been classified as natural, scenic, and recreational.
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is located near Lumberton in Robeson County. UNC Pembroke is a public, co-educational, historically American Indian liberal arts university in the town of Pembroke.
