Crime Scene and Trauma Cleanup in Aberdeen, NC

Aberdeen is a town in Moore County, North Carolina, in the Sandhills region, and it forms part of the Pinehurst–Southern Pines–Aberdeen metropolitan area famous for golf.

Scottish emigrants were the first Europeans to settle the Aberdeen area, beginning in 1745, and they founded the early communities of Bethesda and Blue's Crossing.

One of the area's earliest industries was naval stores — tar, pitch and turpentine — drawn from the abundant longleaf pine forests of the Sandhills.

Aberdeen's growth took off after the Raleigh and Augusta Air Line Railroad was extended through the area in the mid-1870s, turning Blue's Crossing into a railroad and commercial center.

The town of Aberdeen was incorporated in 1893.

The Aberdeen Historic District, an intact core of late 19th- and early 20th-century commercial, residential and railroad buildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Old Bethesda Presbyterian Church, about a mile northeast of the business district, and the Malcolm Blue Farm are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The 2020 census counted 8,516 people in Aberdeen, up from 6,350 in 2010, and Census Bureau survey estimates put the town at roughly 4,000 households with a median household income around $75,000.

Aberdeen has nearly tripled in size since 1990, when it had fewer than 3,300 residents, as growth from the neighboring Pinehurst golf resort area has spilled into the town.
