In 1663 North Carolina
was granted to eight of the political friends of the
recently restored King of England, Charles II. These
men, known as the Lords Proprietors of Carolina,
promoted the settlement of this state. Settlers from
Virginia began to push into the Albemarle region of
eastern Carolina. As this area became inhabited some of
the more adventurous settlers pushed southward and by
the 1690's settlers had begun to appear on the Pamlico
River. In 1696 the county of Bath was established and in
1705 the present Beaufort County was established as
Pampticough precinct. -By: Herbert Paschal
Bath, North Carolina's First Town - 1705. A
library sent to St. Thomas Parish in 1701 became the
first public library in the colony. Bath was also the
haunt of Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. He is
said to have married a local girl and briefly settled in
the little harbor town about 1716. There have always
been legends that Blackbeard struck bargains in Bath
with Royal Governor Charles Eden. |
