Wayne County, North Carolina
.Wayne County, situated in the eastern part of the great state of North Carolina, was established in 1779 from the former Dobbs County. It was named in honor of General Anthony Wayne, an American Revolutionary War hero known as "Mad Anthony" for his exceptional military leadership and tenacity.
The area was initially inhabited by the Tuscarora Native Americans before European settlers arrived. In the early 18th century, English and Welsh settlers began to migrate to the region, and it soon became an important agricultural hub. Wayne County's primary crops initially included tobacco, cotton, and other produce. However, the county later diversified its economy by developing industries such as textiles, furniture, and food processing.
Goldsboro, the county seat, was founded in 1847 and named after Matthew T. Goldsborough, a railroad engineer who played a significant role in connecting the town to the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad system. In the 1860s, Wayne County became a strategic location during the Civil War. It was the site of the Battle of Goldsborough Bridge, which took place on December 17, 1862. The Confederates successfully defended their railroad supply line from Union forces during this battle.
A fun fact about Wayne County is that the legendary aviator and pioneer in the field of human-powered flight, Dr. Paul MacCready, lived there. He was born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1925 but moved to Wayne County as a child. MacCready's work in human-powered flight led to the creation of the Gossamer Condor, the first aircraft to achieve sustained and controlled human-powered flight, which won the Kremer Prize in 1977.
