Abstract:

Princeville, located in Edgecombe County, has a unique place in history. It is the first town in the country incorporated by Afro-Americans. A place rich in history, it celebrated its centennial in 1995. New town leadership seeks to capitalize on this legacy by revitalizing the town to attract tourists and retirees.
