Lenoir County is centrally located in Eastern NC approximately 75 miles east of Raleigh and 75 miles west of Morehead City. Our county is a blend of agriculture and manufacturing. We are located near the center of the North Carolina Aerospace Corridor and home to the North Carolina Global TransPark, a multi-modal transportation and industrial complex designed to meet the present and emerging needs of domestic and global commerce.
Lenoir County’s deep-rooted tobacco, mercantile, and farming history has emerged into a resurgence featuring farm-fresh, award-winning dining, a vibrant arts scene, and music that touches the soul and lifts the spirit. Arts Neighborhoods, the African American Music Trail, a Music Park, Civil War battlefields and museums, gunboats and our riverwalk create adventures at every turn. America’s game is in full swing when the Down East Wood Ducks Minor League Baseball team is in town. Our way of life entices visitors to come and break bread, enjoy libation and recollect a simpler time.
