The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Pinebluff was a regional resort area during the early 1900s, enjoying greater renown than Pinehurst Resort at the time. After an uncontrollable fire, the town was permanently damaged, and it is currently a small residential area. As of 1909, Pinebluff was a sundown town, where African Americans were not allowed to live or stay overnight. At the southern end of the town, a lakeside park called Cardinal Park offered a small lake beach and summer-time water-sport recreation to African Americans despite the rest of the town being closed to them at the time in 1962. The park has since reopened in 2019 to the public after being closed for several years.
