Onslow County

Onslow County is home to three industrial parks and one business park, serving a variety of industries. Located on the beautiful coast of the fast-growing state of North Carolina, Onslow County includes a portion of the intracoastal waterway and offers access to two deep water ports within an hour’s drive. Onslow County has four-lane highways and is within minutes of interstate access. The Albert J. Ellis Airport (OAJ), located in Richlands, is just 10 miles northwest of Jacksonville and features new passenger and executive terminals.

Our coastal community offers a myriad of quality of life amenities: historic and cultural museums and memorials, land and water recreation, sports events and festivals, and top notch health and education facilities.
