Brunswick County is the fifth fastest growing county in North Carolina, yet we still have that small town atmosphere. One of the largest counties in the state, geographically, our population remains relatively small at 83,787 (from 2004 census). Local government officials have met the challenge of steady growth with improved infrastructure, expanding health care facilities, greater educational opportunities, cultural events; and they continue to keep a close eye on our county’s future.
