Mar-Mac, NC

Mar-Mac is a Wayne County census-designated place in the Goldsboro area, with 3,184 residents in the 2020 census. US 117 and US 13 run through the wider community, and I-795 is about five miles north in Goldsboro. That road pattern makes Mar-Mac feel tied to the county seat: schools, shopping, county services, and college classes are close by, while the CDP itself is a spread of neighborhoods and rural roads. The Goldsboro metro is the practical center of the map. Mar-Mac Volunteer Fire Department gives the community one of its clearest local gathering places for neighbors and families.

Its 2026 events include an Easter egg hunt and a Fire Muster with antique apparatus, vendors, food trucks, and a look at the history of fire service. Wayne Community College's Goldsboro campus offers more than 170 programs, and the county's agricultural economy reaches from tobacco, cotton, and grains to livestock and poultry. Mar-Mac is a Wayne County place whose daily life is built around roads into Goldsboro, volunteer service, and the working farms beyond town.
