How did Monkey Junction get its name?

How did Monkey Junction get it’s name?

(Sources for this information came from the Wilmington Star News and Wikipedia)

Outsiders frequently chuckle when they hear locals talk about Monkey Junction. It’s a funny name for a popular and growing section of southern New Hanover County, which is also referred to as Myrtle Grove.

Monkey Junction is named for a popular tourist attraction at a gas station in that area in the 1950s: a live monkey that belonged the owners. Word spread and people would stop on their way to the beach to see the animal. *(star news)

Monkey Junction is an unincorporated area near Wilmington, North Carolina at the intersection of College Road (NC 132) and Carolina Beach Road (US 421).

The intersection has been known as “Monkey Junction” for almost seventy years thanks to a gas station that was located there from the late 1930s through the mid 1940s. The station, run by Dina and Jack Spindle, kept live monkeys in order to attract customers from a bus that passed by on the way to and from Carolina Beach, which lies several miles south of the junction. The bus driver would stop near the station and announce “Monkey Junction”. Soldiers stationed at nearby Fort Fisher were also regular customers who enjoyed being entertained by the monkeys.

Non-natives can be readily identified as they refer to the locale as it appears on maps “Myrtle Grove Junction”, a reference to the local residential neighborhood nearby.(Wikipedia)

Wilmington Market Research

Recent Market Research indicates that 92% of local searches will eventually convert into a sale!

Local consumers are ready to buy when they search online and use a city modifier such as Wilmington florist, Wilmington dentist, Wilmington pool cleaning, etc. When people search locally, they are ready to engage (make a purchase). They aren’t looking to be informed, LOCAL CONSUMERS ARE READY TO BUY!

When searching local business consumers expect to find:

  • A Phone number
  • An address
  • Hours of operation

Make sure your website has all three and is mobilized so new customers can find you when searching from their mobile device.
