Castle Haynes Bulb Farm.

Located in northern New Hanover County, Castle Haynes was named for Captain Roger Haynes (died before November, 1739), who owned a colonial plantation in the area. Around the turn of the twentieth century, Hugh MacRae (1865-1951), a local developer, brought a number of Europeans to the USA. In Castle Haynes, the mostly Dutch settlers established a settlement and farms, where they raised bulbs (gladioli, daffodils, etc.) for domestic flower markets.
