Abstract:

Edgecombe County was created in 1741, and Tarboro, the county seat, is the country's premier town for highlighting historic architecture. The Town Common in Tarboro, created in 1760, is the only remaining colonial era town common in North Carolina. Westbrook discusses county history, visitors' points of interest, and the effects of the flood of 1999 on Tarboro and Princeville.
