The largest county in North Carolina, according to US Government census data is Robeson County at 948.84 square miles, followed closely by Sampson County at 945.45 square miles. The area of the two is so close that which one is considered the largest is often contested and has gone back and forth as new surveys have revised previous ones. Because some of their boundaries are defined by rivers, their sizes may change naturally as the rivers change course and move the boundaries.

If you mean in terms of geographical size, the largest would be Mecklenburg, since that is where Charlotte is, which is the largest US city.
