Abstract:
Johnston County was the state's fastest growing county in 2004 and the fiftieth fastest in the nation. The year was also an outstanding one for business with more than $170 million in new business locations or expansions and creation of over 1,200 new jobs. Formerly an agricultural and low-end manufacturing community, the county focus is now on pharmaceuticals, distribution, and tourism. The county benefits from convenience and accessibility to three major highways, U.S. 70, I-40, and I-95; close proximity to the Raleigh-Durham International Airport; and Wake County and its thriving economy.

Abstract:
Travelers passing through Johnston County on I-95 or I-40 are often unaware of what activities lie just off the interstate. For example, the county's most famous citizen, Ava Gardner, is honored with a museum; the Bentonville Civil War battlefield lies nearby; Kenly's Tobacco Farm Life Museum honors farm families; and many towns hold festivals, such as Benson's Mule Days.

He states that \"it has been the mother and grandmother of about a dozen other counties.\" The Battle of Bentonville, the last great orderly battle of the Civil War, was fought there in March 1865.
