Kinston

City and administrative headquarters of Lenoir County, eastern North Carolina, on the Neuse River, 110 km/70 mi southeast of Raleigh; population (2000) 23,700. It is an important bright-leaf tobacco market and processing centre, and the trade centre for the surrounding agricultural region. Products include textiles, chemicals, lumber, paper boxes, moulded concrete, and processed foods.

Incorporated in 1762 as Kingston, in honour of George III of Great Britain and Ireland, it was reincorporated in 1784 without the g, to avoid the royal title. The city is home to Lenoir Community College (1958).
