Shawtown is a small place in Harnett County, North Carolina, United States. It's not a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's called an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger county or township, in this case, Lillington Township.
Shawtown is located just south of the town of Lillington. It's also considered part of the Dunn Micropolitan Area. This is a way the government groups nearby areas together for statistics. It's also part of an even bigger area called the Raleigh–Durham–Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA). This larger area includes several cities and their surrounding communities, making it a busy and important part of North Carolina.
