About Faison

Faison is a quiet, close-knit town of around 800 people in eastern North Carolina, straddling the line between Duplin and Sampson counties. It offers a relaxed rural atmosphere where open farmland and slow-paced living are part of everyday life. Commuting is surprisingly straightforward, with U.S. 117 running right through town and Interstate 40 just three miles to the west. That puts Goldsboro about twenty minutes north and keeps trips to Raleigh or the coast within easy reach.

Faison Cemetery

Originally founded as a railroad stop in the 1830s, Faison grew up as a regional agricultural hub and has held onto much of its historic character. Its historic district features beautiful older homes and leafy residential streets, while the restored 1880s train station in Town Park now doubles as the local library and museum. For anyone looking for a quiet, affordable corner of eastern North Carolina, Faison offers classic small-town living with a strong sense of community.
