Duplin County, Administrative county in North Carolina, US
Duplin County is an administrative division in eastern North Carolina that encompasses a dozen or so towns and municipalities. The landscape is defined by farmland, with Kenansville serving as the main administrative center.
The county was created in 1750 when New Hanover County was divided, and took its name from Thomas Hay, an English official of that era. This formation reflected the colonial administration's need to organize the growing eastern region.
Farming traditions run deep throughout the area, with agriculture shaping how people live and work day to day. Visitors notice the rural character and the pride locals take in their land-based heritage.
Visitors can find administrative services and information at Kenansville, and local airport connections support travel to and from the area. A car is useful for getting around since the county is spread out across farmland.
The area stands out for large-scale hog farming that shapes much of the rural landscape and economy. A historic winery that has operated for generations adds an unexpected agricultural tradition to the region.
