Abstract:
The Roanoke River has influenced the Williamston area since the English explored it in 1584. Commercial goods, including logs, fishing products, and naval stores, were shipped on the river until the Civil War. After the war railroads replaced river shipping. Logging and fishing dwindled.

A canoe/camping trail has been built, and other projects are planned.
