Jarvisburg is an unincorporated community in rural Currituck County, North Carolina. A post office was established around 1890.[1]

There is a post office, elementary school, cafe, Jarvisburg Church of Christ, and Sanctuary Vineyard winery.

A two room schoolhouse for "colored" students in the district was enlarged and remodeled in 1911, adding a second-story and central bell tower,[2] the Jarvisburg Colored School is now a museum and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Corinth Baptist Church is also located in the area.[3]

A 1929 building, once a working cotton gin,[4] was destroyed by fire in 2019. At that time the building contained a well-known gift shop called "The Cotton Gin".[5][6]

In 2022 a resident of Jarvisburg won $2 million dollars on a scratch-off game administered by the North Carolina Education Lottery.[7]
