The '''Fayetteville Arsenal''' in [[North Carolina]] was built in [[1838]] directly as a result of the [[War of 1812]]. It was realized by the United States Government that the existing distribution of weapons and ammunition making factories was not adequate for the defense of the country. A program was begun to provide more Federal arsenals which would be distributed so that no area of the country would be too far away from an arms depot. Bladen County Representative [[James McKay]] introduced House Resolution #374 for inclusion of an arsenal at Fayetteville.
