Abstract:
Continuing his travels to the state's counties, Goerch explores Perquimans County, a Native American name that reportedly means, \"Land of Beautiful Women.\" Some of the earliest settlements in the state are located there. The courthouse was built in 1732. It is predominately an agricultural county; over seventy percent of its families live on farms. The nearby waters supply both commercial and sport fishing. The town of Hertford is a combination of the old and new with many houses over a century old.
