Raeford is a mid-sized city in Hoke County, NC, and is home to roughly 5,000 people. Raeford is located along Cape Fear River, 90 miles south of Raleigh-Durham and was once an important inland port on the Cape Fear River. Two large military installations, Fort Bragg, and Pope Air Force Base provide the city’s main economic base, but Raeford has been a boom-town over the past 10 years. Today, Raeford offers its residents a small-town friendly atmosphere, superior quality of life, proximity to major metropolitan amenities, and a pastoral setting.
