Carolina--Costal City:
Calabash Calabash is a small fishing town
in Brunswick
County, North
Carolina, United
States. The population was 711 at the 2000 census. It prides itself
as the Seafood Capital of the World because of the town's large amount of
"Calabash-Style" seafood
restaurants. Calabash
is part of the Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area. Calabash
was named after gourds that grew in the region, which were
used for drinking. Since the 1930s, Calabash has been known for its distinctive
style of fried seafood, which has come to be known as "Calabash Style." Calabash
style buffets are common in many eastern Carolina coastal towns. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is home to a large number
of these restaurants as the city is very close to
Calabash. In 1998 a
large portion of the town of Calabash split to form the town of Carolina Shores. The split came as the
result of years of bickering over "sewer, garbage collection and sign
restrictions". The town limits of Carolina Shores currently interlock with those
of Calabash. Income & Housing Costs
