Nestled in the heart of eastern North Carolina, between Raleigh and the coast, Goldsboro is the home of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, home of the 4th Fighter Wing and the 916th Refueling Wing. We are a destination rich in cultural and heritage roots, which captivates visitors and residents alike.

Our city is rich in history, laden with stories of Tuscarora Indians, steamboats, Revolutionary skirmishes, and Civil War battles. The world’s longest railroad once ran through our county. Goldsboro was an important railroad junction during the Civil War. Confederate troops were stationed here to guard the city and report for duty by rail. These trail sites included Foster’s Raid, Battle of Goldsborough Bridge and Battle of Whitehall. In 1874, the City of Goldsboro purchased land to be used as an African American cemetery. This area, known as Elmwood Cemetery, is home to the grave of Marine PFC. Dan Bullock. Bullock is believed to be the youngest serviceman killed in action during the Vietnam War.
