Rich in history and steeped in tradition, Tarboro was
incorporated in 1760 and is one of North Carolina's
oldest towns. Through the centuries, progressive
leadership has led to growth and prosperity, and today,
Tarboro thrives as an All-America City with a strong,
viable economic base. Our major industries include food
processing, plastics, fertilizer, textiles, and
communications.
Tarboro has preserved much of its
history and has developed one of the most active
historic preservation programs in North Carolina.
Numerous public and private residential and commercial
restorations can be found in one of the largest historic
districts in this part of the country. A National
Historic Trail guides tourists through the older
neighborhoods of the town.
As the county seat of Edgecombe County, Tarboro is also
the center of one of North Carolina's finest
agricultural areas, producing tobacco, cotton, peanuts,
and corn.
Front Porches are the open arms of a
house. They greet you with a "Hello, " "Pleased to meet
you, " or "Won't You come in?" Their language is spoken
in seasonal flowers and greenery; stately white
banisters; and carefully swept floor boards.
The ambient sounds from a porch make pleasant company;
rhythmic thumps of rockers; the tinkle of ice in tall
tea glasses; the creaks of porch swings. With them may
come the roar from a punch line; the murmur of a
confidence told; or the lilt of good people sharing good
times.
In Tarboro, North Carolina, a front porch is more than
part of a house. It's a symbol of a way of life that's
easy, open, and relaxed - yet casually elegant. It's a
symbol of a life growing so unique that Tarboro has
become a regular stop on tours associated with The
History Channel, The Victorian Society, The Smithsonian
and Historic
Albemarle.
