Havelock is a city located in Craven County, North Carolina. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 22,442.
History
Havelock is one of eight cities in the world named after Sir Henry Havelock. The town was the initial landing point for a civil war battle known as the Battle of New Bern. On March 11, Brigadier General Ambrose Burnside’s command embarked from Roanoke Island to rendezvous with Union gunboats at Hatteras Inlet for an expedition against New Bern. On March 13, the fleet sailed up the Neuse River and disembarked infantry on the river’s south bank. Elements of the Rhode Island Heavy artillery came ashore near the location of the Officer’s Club on Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station and also near the Carolina Pines Golf and Country Club. The Federals captured nine forts and 41 heavy guns and occupied a base. Despite several Confederate attempts to reclaim the town and the surrounding area, the Federals did not withdraw until after the end of the war.
Existing records indicate that the production of naval supplies including turpentine and tar were very important in the local economy during the 19th century. With the invention of the steam engine, the demand for tar and turpentine slowly evaporated as fewer wooden ships were constructed. Many distillers of turpentine turned to the production of moonshine to make ends meet.
In 1940, Havelock became the home of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. The Naval Depot located on the air station has provided abundant employment opportunities for local residents.
