Abstract:
Today, the name Havelock may be synonymous with the air force station located nearby, which currently employs more than 14,300 individuals and generates 2.2 billion dollars for the region’s economy. Perhaps not considered so often about the town first named Slocum’s Creek is its close proximity to Crystal Coast beaches. It was cited by the author as a factor leading many personnel stationed at Cherry Point to make Havelock home, post retirement.

Abstract:
The armed force’s importance in the Coastal Region was represented in attesting their positive impact. Economic impact was felt in towns such as Morehead City, and in the purchase of goods, on and off base, by the over ninety thousand military members and their dependents. As for their social impact, it was best expressed in helping to repair churches and coaching community little league teams. It was proof that the greatest impact couldn’t be measured in dollars and cents.

Abstract:
Eastern North Carolina has several large Marine bases, and few people realize the extent of the payroll at Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point, Fort Bragg, and others. Many towns house employees of these bases, like the 700 people in Pamlico County working at Cherry point. This accounts for the livelihood of approximately 3,000 of Pamlico County's families, a significant percentage of the scant 9,850 population count.
