Kammerer gives a history of the early years of Pitt County's formation. The present land of Pitt County was created as Bath County in 1696, dividing into Beaufort County in 1712, and formed into Pitt County in 1760. Pitt County was named in honor of William Pitt, the elder, Earl of Chatham, who was then Prime Minister of England.
