Calypso, NC

Calypso is a small, quiet community in North Carolina's Duplin County with a population of just a few hundred residents. It got its start in the late 1800s as a railroad stop shipping out local crops, and that relaxed, rural atmosphere is still very much alive today. U.S. 117 runs directly through the center of town, giving locals a simple drive up to Mount Olive or Goldsboro for daily errands, work, and dining. Surrounded by open farmland and quiet backroads, Calypso offers a peaceful, close-knit setting for anyone who appreciates country living and a slower pace.
