Nahunta, North Carolina

Nahunta is a rural unincorporated community in Wayne County, North Carolina, United States, on North Carolina Highway 581.[1]

It is located in the northwestern portion of the county, outside Goldsboro.[2][3][4] The community had its own high school (Nahunta High School) until 1961, after which high school students went to the new Charles B. Aycock High School as a part of school consolidation.[3] A private community swimming pool was built in 1973.[5]

The Nahunta Friends Church in the community traces its origins to the 18th century.[6][7]
