In the 1790s, a large cluster of French-speaking refugees, many of which were fleeing Haiti and the French Revolutions, settled along it, and the nickname French Street took over. This street ran all the way from the Christina River up through town and became a main hub for travel and business. Wilmington is more French than people would initially assume, and it’s easy to see this once you look at its history.
