Abstract:
An agricultural county settled prior to 1707 and officially established in 1760, Hertford County, encompasses three rivers and over 130,000 acres of forests. Prior to the Civil War, the region was sustained primarily via the plantation system. Expansion into maritime and modern industries came in the late-19th-century in the form of port trade, fishing, hosiery mills, ice plants, and lumber.

They have expanded educational opportunities, installed a water system, promoted home improvement and employment programs, and initiated a garbage pick-up service.
