New Bern was founded in 1710 by Swiss and German settlers, who named it after Bern, and it later served as North Carolina’s colonial capital. Set where the Neuse and Trent rivers meet, the town is known for its historic downtown, its waterfront and the bear statues that nod to its namesake. Pharmacist Caleb Bradham created the drink that became Pepsi-Cola here in the 1890s. The economy draws on healthcare, manufacturing, tourism and retirement living, and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in nearby Havelock is one of the region’s largest employers.

Coastal Carolina Regional Airport is just a couple of miles from downtown, a short ride to the waterfront hotels and marinas. That makes New Bern a convenient arrival point for retirees and boat owners visiting from the Northeast, for defense contractors with business at Cherry Point and for families heading on to the Crystal Coast beaches, about 45 minutes away. Visitors come for Tryon Palace and the historic district, sailing on the wide Neuse River, the Croatan National Forest and a growing number of restaurants and breweries downtown.
