Clayton Cut, Prince's Siding, then a name from a 1923 lake
Before Spring Lake took its name around 1923 — for a spring-fed lake that likely formed when the railroad was built around 1860 — the area was called Clayton Cut and later Prince's Siding after a local sawmill owner. Growth followed Camp Bragg's expansion through the 1920s and surged again in WWII; the town incorporated April 9, 1951, with Grady Howard elected its first mayor that June.
Base-boom construction and its window replacement cycles
Much of Spring Lake's housing dates to the WWII and Cold War-era building booms driven by the neighboring base, which means window stock here often falls into a fairly narrow range of mid-20th-century sizes and materials that have typically already gone through at least one replacement cycle. Knowing which boom era a specific home belongs to helps narrow down likely window sizes before a measurement visit.

Notes that help before a Spring Lake site visit
Note roughly when the home was built relative to the town's base-driven growth waves, how many windows you're considering, whether you know if this would be a first or second replacement, and any specific issues like drafts or seal failure. Construction era shapes what's likely already installed.
What Fayetteville's stormwater program does and doesn't cover here
Fayetteville maintains a stormwater program and historic-district records through Development Services, but Spring Lake is its own incorporated town bordering the installation; check with Spring Lake town offices for any local exterior-work rule rather than assuming Fayetteville's programs cover it.
