The Burgaw Depot is the oldest railroad depot in North Carolina, declared by the North Carolina Division of Archives and History in 1986. The structure was examined by state officials in conjunction with its nomination to the National Register of Historic Places by the Burgaw Jaycees, a local civic group. It has been said that "Burgaw's heart beat first at the depot" because it predated the incorporation of the town nearly 30 years.
