The measurement of Edenton’s historical significance to North Carolina extends back the mid eighteenth century, when it was the state capital. The measure of its history extends to modern day, with the town’s efforts to preserve its Colonial roots. This is evident in facilities such as the courthouse, built in 1767, and historic houses such as the Barker House, built in 1783.

Abstract:
Edenton, also known during the Revolutionary War as the Port of Roanoke, was an important port city, and was thus a British target during the conflict. One such predator on the Albemarle Sound was the British row galley, GENERAL ARNOLD. Attacks on boats and encounters with GENERAL ARNOLD forced many to flee across the Sound to Windsor. However, the citizens of Edenton banded together to meet GENERAL ARNOLD head-on.
