Mt. Olive,
North Carolina is located in
Wayne County in the southeastern part of NC.
While part of Mt. Olive crosses into adjacent
Duplin County, Wayne carries the bulk of the
developed land mass and the largest segment of
population. That population of approximately
4,442 is a help in supplying the town's
biggest employer with staff -- Mt. Olive boasts
the world famous
Mt. Olive Pickle Company. The company's
two0tone green jars and the crispy crunchy
pickles inside are well known; and what better
place to locate the factory than at the corner
of Cucumber and Vine Streets. With the support
and assistance of the community of Mount Olive,
the Mount Olive Pickle Company holds The
Mount Olive
Pickle Festival
the last full weekend of April each year.
Opportunities for higher education abound in
the area. Within 60 miles of Mt. Olive are 4 Universities including North
Carolina State University at Raleigh; Local Wayne County Community College, and
two other community colleges plus the Wake Technical College. The town of Mt.
Olive itself is home to the
Mt. Olive College, a
private liberal arts college sponsored by the Convention of Original Free Will
Baptists. Its major bachelor degree programs include business, protective
services, recreation and fitness, visual and performing arts and theology.
Not only do pickles pour from Mt Olive’s
industrial business section, but so do turkeys from
Carolina Turkey Company, and furniture from the
Boling Furniture
Company. Timber and wood products from
Georgia-Pacific are the major employment provider in the area although most
of the local plant operations are outside of Mt. Olive proper. Timber, OSB
products, plywood and wood chips are produced by the four GP plants.
