Havelock: Cherry Point and Marine Corps Air
Havelock, in Craven County, adjoins Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, the installation that dominates the local economy and demographics. The city was named in 1858 for British General Sir Henry Havelock, a hero of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. MCAS Cherry Point was commissioned in 1942 during the World War II expansion and became the Marine Corps' primary East Coast fixed-wing aviation base.
The air station hosts the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing along with Fleet Readiness Center East, which performs depot-level maintenance on Marine Corps and Navy aircraft. The base's mission has shifted with changes in Marine aviation, including the replacement of legacy F/A-18 Hornet squadrons with F-35B Lightning II short-takeoff and vertical-landing jets. Cherry Point is one of the largest employers in eastern North Carolina.
Havelock grew alongside the base, with the civilian population expanding to support service members and families. The town remains closely tied to the installation, with housing, retail, and services oriented toward military needs. Nearby New Bern provides additional cultural and commercial options for Cherry Point personnel.
