COMMUNITY BACKGROUND

The City of Goldsboro is located in Eastern North Carolina and serves as the county seat for Wayne County.

Goldsboro is situated in North Carolina’s Coastal Plain and bordered on the south by the Neuse River and on the west by the Little River. It is approximately 50 miles southeast of Raleigh, the state capital, 40 miles southwest of Greenville, and 75 miles north of Wilmington, North Carolina.

When Wayne County was formed in 1789, the town of Waynesborough developed along the banks of the

Neuse River around the county courthouse. In the late 1830’s, the Wilmington and Raleigh (Weldon) Railroad line was built to the east of Waynesborough. At the intersection of the railroad and the New Bern Road, a hotel was built, and a community began to establish itself. This community became known as Goldsborough’s

Junction after Major Matthew T. Goldsborough, an Assistant Chief Engineer with the railroad line. The town of Goldsborough was incorporated in 1847, and the name officially changed to Goldsboro in 1869.

The City of Goldsboro became the county seat for Wayne County in 1847 and has expanded to an area encompassing over twenty-eight square miles. The City has a diversified economy based upon federal military and local governmental institutions, agriculture, manufacturing, a mix of wholesale and retail businesses as well as numerous service providers. This diversity is also reflected in the international composition of the manufacturers that have corporate ties with Great Britain, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, and India. Excellent railroad and two interstate highways (US Highway 70/future Interstate 42 and US Highway 117/Interstate 795) intersect Goldsboro offering high-speed access for commerce within 30 minutes driving time to interstate highways I-95 and I-40. With a population exceeding 34,250 Goldsboro has developed largely as the transportation center for the area’s agriculture industry.

Goldsboro takes great pride in being the home of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Today, Seymour Johnson

AFB hosts distinguished military units from across the country, acts as Goldsboro’s largest employer and introduces Americans every day to the beauty of our fine City.

The City operates under the Council-Manager form of government. The Mayor is elected at-large and is the presiding officer of the Council. The six Councilmembers are elected from the six districts. The Mayor and

Councilmembers serve four-year concurrent terms. The City Manager serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Budget Officer, responsible to Council for administration of all City affairs to effectively and efficiently deliver services to residents, visitors, businesses and customers.

The City provides a wide range of services: police and fire protection; sanitation, street maintenance, and cemetery; parks and recreation; engineering, planning, zoning and inspections; event center and theatre;

community relations and development; and general administrative services. In addition, the City owns, operates water, sewer, compost and stormwater utilities.
