Sonny Sikes give the following information about Pin Hook in his "DUPLIN COUNTY PLACES: past and present." __PIN HOOK: A small community located in the SE corner of the county. It is centered around the intersection of NC 50 and SR 1827 on the east side of Angola Bay. The origin of the name is not known, but it is said that it comes from the old method of making inexpensive fishing hooks from ordinary pins. This was a common practice in the early part of the 1900s when money was not available to buy such items.__ Another cemetery is located at Little Pin Hook. Sikes describes the community as follows: __The local name given to an area around the intersection of NC 11, SR 1936 and SR 1945 in the southern part of the county about 3.5 miles NE of Teachey.__ Hope this will help.
