"Camden was settled at a very early date because the colonists thought the location a favorable one. It is still a very good place in which to live."  

Camden County is a great place to live, work and play with miles of waterfront along the Pasquotank River, the North River, and the Albemarle Sound. With large farms and wild swamps, Camden County offers a paradise for both the hunter and fisherman along with the birder and animal photographer.

Known for excellent schools and strong community spirit, Camden County is ... Where People Live!

Camden was settled around 1650 or perhaps even earlier, the first residents drifting down from Virginia and establishing themselves on both sides of the Pasquotank River.

Camden County was formed in 1777 from Pasquotank County. It was named in honor of Charles Pratt, Earl of Camden, who was one of the staunchest friends of the Americans in the British Parliament.

When Camden County was still part of Pasquotank County, a ferry was used to cross the Pasquotank River. During the Revolutionary Period, a charter was granted to Lemuel Sawyer, Jr., to operate a ferry from a point near Camden Courthouse, where the river was only about 200 yards wide. This ferry continued to operate until around 1911, when a bridge was constructed across the river.

Since some of the early settlers came from localities in England where watermills were in operation, this method of grinding grain was attempted here. Because the streams were sluggish, the mills were not very efficient. Much more satisfactory were the windmills located on bluffs along the banks of the broad Pasquotank River.
