History

The community was settled in about 1890, developing along the “Short-Cut” rail line of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. It was incorporated nine years later as Jerome, being named for local landowner Jerome Creech. The name was changed to Micro in 1905 to avoid confusion with the Jerome community in Bladen County. A wooden school for white children was built that year. It was replaced by a brick building in 1924, which operated until 1987.
