Onslow County is one of the oldest maritime and agricultural counties on the southeastern coast of North Carolina. Originally inhabited by indigenous peoples; the area was settled in the early 18th century by a diverse group of people; including farmers; merchants; indentured servants; and slaves; hailing not only from nearby colonies but also from the British Isles and West Indies. This diversity has continued into the 21st century; Onslow�s citizens have arrived from virtually every state and from several foreign countries due to the military presence of Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station. But there remains a nucleus population of families that descended from those early-18th-century pioneers�a thread that provides continuity into the present. These old-timers always appreciate and enjoy the history of their familiar surroundings; while newer residents want to learn more about the place they now call home.
