The North Carolina State Ports Authority is an authority set up by the state of North Carolina to develop and operate seaports in Wilmington and Morehead City as well as an inland port located in Charlotte. In 1923 North Carolina Governor Cameron Morrison became interested in establishing official port facilities for the state and pushed for the creation of the State Ship and Water Transportation Commission to study the matter. The body produced a report which recommended that the state government fund the development of port facilities. The following year it was replaced by the Ports Commission, which was supposed to oversee the work. A statewide bond referendum for $8.7 million to develop the facilities failed to pass in November 1924, and the commission disbanded. Despite this, the coastal cities of Wilmington and Morehead City pursued their efforts to improve port facilities, and the North Carolina General Assembly incorporated the Morehead City Port Commission in 1933 and the Wilmington Port Commission in 1935.
