Abstract:

In the early twentieth century, Tarboro became the first city in the country to operate a municipal milk plant. In 1917, many townspeople became sick due to contaminated milk, prompting Edgecombe County health officer Dr. K.E. Miller to lobby the town commission to open a municipal milk plant. By the end of 1918, the city raised enough money to build the plant, which stayed open for 47 years and inspired other cities across the country to pasteurize milk for their citizens.
