Abstract:
Formed along side the colonial precincts, parishes became the religious divisions of North Carolina from 1715 to 1778. An Act in 1715 created nine parishes and encompassed all the leading men in the province as parish councilmen; this was amended in 1741 to include 16 parishes, and again in 1751 when vestrymen were to be elected. The number of parishes continued to grow as North Carolina grew as a colony. However, the whole system was abolished in 1778 although some continued to function into the early nineteenth century.
