Welcome to Wilson!
Whether you're looking for Southern hospitality, the East Coast's largest antique market, historic homes and sights, one of Eastern North Carolina's most popular attractions for kids, superb golfing, or the best plate of pork barbecue, Wilson is the place for you. Wilson is named for General Louis Dicken Wilson (1789-1841) who was a state senator and an early advocate of the public school movement.

Incorporated in 1849 as a farm market, Wilson has taken great care to preserve its past. Titled one of North Carolina's most beautiful cities consisting of an abundance of treasures and simple pleasures, Wilson is full of fun, nostalgia, and historic sites, for you to enjoy.
