Wayne County, North Carolina

Eastern North Carolina is home to Wayne County. Goldsboro serves as its hub and county seat. It’s a place where old and new collide.
Seymour Johnson Air Force Base brings a global perspective. But you’ll still find plenty of down-home charm. BBQ is religion here. Argue about eastern vs. western style at your own risk.
The county has deep agricultural roots. You’ll see it in the fields that surround the towns. The arts are alive and well. Murals brighten downtown walls. Wayne County isn’t fancy, but it’s genuine. People here work hard and play hard.
