Abstract:
Many people have heard of Fairleigh Dickinson University, and the third-largest medical products and equipment industry in the world, Becton-Dickinson. Fewer people know that Fairleigh Dickinson was born in Carteret County in the Core Creek community. He left home at fourteen to take a job on a sailing ship. Later a chance meeting with Maxwell Becton of Kinston led to the founding of Becton-Dickinson, which reported revenues of almost $5 million in 2004. Although he led a very busy life filled with national and international commitments, Dickinson and his family returned to Core Creek every year till his death in 1948.

Emphasized were a partnership with Maxwell W. Becton of a company that was the third largest producer of medical products in the world; military service that yielded membership in the War Department’s business council; ownership of The Pilgrim, which served as a patrol craft during WWII; civic contributions including director of the American Surgical Trade Association; and a donation of $100,000 plus for the construction of a new non-denominational community church and parish hall.
