In 2012, North Carolina celebrated the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. One of the events was the placing of the Deep Water Point Historical Marker. In 2020 a hurricane made landfall in Brunswick County and devastated the lower Cape Fear area. That same year two tropical storms and another hurricane made landfall. As a result, the marker was blown down and suffered damage that could not be repaired.
