Havelock Privilege License
Havelock, North Carolina, is a city named after Sir Henry Havelock, a British officer notable for his role during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Originally established as Havelock Station in the late 1850s, the town played a significant role during the American Civil War, serving as a landing point for Union forces in the Battle of New Bern.
Throughout the 19th century, Havelock's economy thrived on the production of naval supplies, particularly turpentine and tar, until the advent of the steam engine shifted demand. Officially incorporated in 1959, Havelock is now home to the Cherry Point Naval Aviation Depot, providing vital employment opportunities for local residents.
