== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Carteret County is powerfully Republican in most elections.
* Much of the county lies within the Croatan National Forest.
* A voting machine malfunction in the county resulted in the loss of 4,438 ballots cast during early voting for the November 2, 2004 general election. Since the number of lost ballots exceeded the lead held (by Steve Troxler over Britt Cobb) in the statewide race for agriculture commissioner, the State Board of Elections decided to hold a special election on January 11, 2005, open only to the 18,500 voters in the county who either failed to vote or whose votes were lost. Both candidates filed legal challenges contesting the format of the new election. On February 4, 2005, Cobb conceded the race.
* The United States Coast Guard homeports several cutters in Atlantic Beach.
* Carteret is the third-largest county in North Carolina by total area.
* Located near Bogue is Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue. It serves as a Marine Corps’ East Coast site for Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP). By performing many of these landings at night, pilots simulate landing on an aircraft carrier or an amphibious assault ship, which provides the force with the means to forward deploy its aviation assets in order to have a more readily accessible aviation punch for the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) commander on the battlefield.
