Health Insurance Kinston NC

Kingston was originally established along the banks of the Neuse River as one of three tobacco inspection warehouses. The community was named for King George III of England. In 1784, following the end of the Revolutionary War, the people of Kingston requested that the letter "g" be dropped.

Kinston was incorporated in 1826. By 1885, Kinston was home to a number of merchants, three carriage factories, a harness factory, two turpentine distilleries, gristmills, sawmills, and several doctors and lawyers. 

The late nineteenth and early twentieth century brought new life to the Lenoir County area and launched an era of progress that continues to this day. Tremendous strides have been and continue to be made in transportation, agriculture, industry, education, medicine, public services, and religion.

When good transportation became vital to the future of the area Lenoir County built one of the finest road systems in the state. When the cotton economy declined, Lenoir County farmers grew a new crop, tobacco, and became the "World's Foremost Tobacco Center". When industry was needed, they built their own factories and mills.
