History of Pinehurst, NC

JuteVilla
In 1895, James Walker Tufts purchased 500 acres (2.0 km), and eventually purchased an additional 5,500 acres (22 km), of land for approximately $1.25 per acre in the North Carolina Sandhills, with the vision of building a "health resort for people of modest means".

Originally dubbed Tuftstown during development, Tuftstown became the village of Pinehurst, and home of the Pinehurst Resort. In 1980, the village became a municipality.

The first golf course at Pinehurst Resort was laid out in 1897-1898. The first championship held at Pinehurst was United North and South Amateur
