Goldsboro, previously known as Waynesborough is a town in North Carolina. It is famous for being the place where two nuclear bombs were accidentally dropped in 1961. Each bomb was said to have 250 times the power of a Hiroshima bomb, but fortunately did not detonate and was partially recovered. At present, Goldsboro is famous for Cliffs Of Neuse State Park which has plenty of recreational activities, and Waynesborough Historical Village - a historically accurate reconstructed village.
