Jacksonville is a fast growing community which is spreading out all over the county. Onslow County is the largest of 100 counties in North Carolina.
Jacksonville is the commercial hub of Onslow County and home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River.
Some 68,357 people make the city their home. The once quiet farming community has grown into the business, retail, medical, banking and cultural center for Onslow County.
In 1992, Jacksonville was named an All-America City by the National Civic League.
Jacksonville is serviced by the Onslow County School System. All Onslow County Schools are Regionally and Nationally Accredited. There are 34 schools: 18 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, 7 high schools and 1 alternative school.
