"Love Living Here"
|
If you are relocating from a metro area you will be pleasantly surprised at the easy-going, friendly atmosphere afforded to living in a community of approximately 23,000. With over 80 restaurants you will find the typical fast foods and chains, but also those "almost disappearing" individual owned and operated restaurants. See Restaurants
Relocating to Kinston with employment in Greenville, New Bern, or Goldsboro makes sense. You avoid the metro issues of traffic and a higher cost of housing. You only have a 30-40 minutes drive on excellent 4-lane highways. You will have the best of both worlds.

Kinston was established in 1762. Remember America started in East North Carolina. There are many historical events here every year.
Kinston was originally named Kingston, named for King George III of England, but the name was changed in 1784 following the Revolutionary War. Not only was Kinston here before the Revolutionary War but was a major battlefield of the Civil War giving it a wealth of over two hundred years American history. More..
