Abstract:

Martin County history dates back to 1774 when it was formed from Halifax and Tyrrell counties. It is essentially an agricultural county, with tobacco the top crop and peanuts a close second. The county has a diversity of merchandizing concerns, and lumbering and Plymouth's North Carolina Pulp Company are big industries.
