About Stantonsburg

Chartered in 1817, Stantonsburg is the oldest incorporated town in Wilson County. Rooted in eastern North Carolina’s farming country, the community developed around early agriculture and regional rail lines. Today, that heritage is visible in the town's historic homes, shaded residential streets, and peaceful atmosphere. It is a quiet, close-knit place to settle down, surrounded by open fields and classic southern landscape.
