Swansboro, incorporated 1783 has a population of approximately 1,388 and takes its name from Samuel Swann who was a Speaker in the North Carolina House of Commons and a resident of Onslow County. The town, originally spelled Swannsborough, is sometimes called "The Friendly City by the Sea". M.N. Lisk, a popular Swansboro mayor, was the creator of the annual Mullet Festival, one of the first coastal seafood festivals in North Carolina. The Mullet Festival celebrated 50 years in 2004.
Swansboro is a quaint city with restaurants, shopping, and downtown historic sites. Traveling from the John & Lucille Country Retreat it is only 20 minutes to Swansboro. It is a good place to spend the day on the waterfront city browsing the unique shops on Front Street and eating at one of the great restaurants.
