Official Website

The county was created in 1734 as Onslow Precinct and gained county status in 1739. It was named for Arthur Onslow, the longest serving speaker of the House of Commons.

During World War II, Onslow County was dramatically changed in the early 1940s with the establishment of the United States Army Camp Davis near Holly Ridge (now defunct), and the creation of Camp Lejeune in 1941. This increased county population and generated related growth in housing and businesses.
