Selma

The Town of Selma, North Carolina, with a 2007 population of nearly 7,000, works hand-in-hand with its sister township Smithfield, NC. These adjacent townships share the county of residence, Johnston County, and they share the prime North Carolina location in the Piedmont Crescent Area. Located on I-95 near the I-40 intersection, half way between New York and Florida, Selma and Smithfield's abundant, inexpensive lodging and restaurants have made a mark on the tourist industry. This area is part of North Carolina’s Triangle Region, and the economy is diversified and employment is upscale.

Selma, NC's heritage is celebrated annually in October by a "Railroad Days" festival. The historic Selma Union Depot was built in 1924. Temporarily used as a museum, the station was restored and renovated in 2002 and now serves Amtrak's daily Carolinian between New York City and Charlotte, and Amtrak's daily Palmetto between New York City and Florida.
