Welcome to beautiful Grantsboro, North Carolina!
Grantsboro is known as the “Crossroads of Pamlico County”. Nestled in the heart of our county, Grantsboro is our area’s business and residential hub and has been since the early 1900’s. Grantsboro is secure in its position as the driving economic force of local commerce. New businesses are finding that Grantsboro is the place to settle because of the convenience for their shoppers and the hometown atmosphere. Grantsboro’s major thoroughfare is Highway 55 and is dressed with sidewalks that lead to major retailers and restaurants.
Grantsboro was named after William Grant, a native of New York. Mr. Grant came here as a peddler around 1890 carrying a pack on his back. He settled down, built a store then married a local young lady. The area became known as “Grantsboro.”
Grantsboro became an incorporated town in 1997 and had the first stop light in the county. Today, Grantsboro is a thriving town which boasts a school, Chamber of Commerce, History Museum, Fire Department and several grocery markets.
Since its earliest years, Grantsboro has enjoyed growth as a residential area. The hamlet of Grantsboro, well known for its friendly people, local churches and civic organizations, is proud to be the home of the Pamlico County Visitor’s Center. Grantsboro offers great appeal because of its proximity to the Neuse and Bay Rivers, the North Carolina Ferry System and the Pamlico Sound. We are a bedroom community, only a stone’s throw away from Historic New Bern, NC. Come see us, see what we are all about; you might like us and decide to stay. We did!
