The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusMulberry is a census-designated place (CDP) in Wilkes County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 2,332 at the 2010 U.S. Census. The community was given its name by the first European pioneers to settle the area in the 1750s. These settlers called the region "Mulberry Fields", after the many mulberry trees in the area. Mulberry Creek, one of the largest streams in Wilkes County, takes its name from the community of Mulberry, and flows through the area.
Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 2,332 to 2,275 (-2%). Half of its homes were built before 1978.
