About Jacksonville, NC

Surrounded by sandy beaches, the Jacksonville community continues to thrive thanks to deep military roots. Over half of the population comes from the military, as Jacksonville is home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Air Station New River and several smaller connected bases.

Once a quiet farming community, Jacksonville is now the commercial hub of Onslow County. Home to the largest Marine force in the world, the military bases cover over 150,000 acres of land and have become a stable economic resource. In addition to being the home of Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station, Jacksonville continues to experience growth in business, tourism, retail, medical, banking, and cultural activities.
