Northampton County, North Carolina
.Northampton County is located in the northeastern part of North Carolina and was formed in 1741 from a portion of Bertie County. The county was named in honor of James Compton, the 5th Earl of Northampton, a British politician, and an important supporter of American colonies. The county seat is Jackson, which was established as the seat of government in 1742.
In the early years, agriculture was the primary economic activity in Northampton County, particularly tobacco, cotton, and corn. The Roanoke River, which flows through the county, was vital for transportation and trade. As a result, the county prospered and several towns and communities, such as Rich Square and Seaboard, emerged along the riverbanks.
The construction of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad in the mid-1800s helped spur further growth in the region. Several industries, such as lumber mills and cotton gins, were established. Additionally, Northampton County played a role in the American Civil War. A Confederate training camp called Camp Gatling was set up in the town of Garysburg, and nearby Weldon was the site of the Weldon Railroad, a significant rail line for supplying the Confederate army.
Throughout its history, Northampton County has also been at the forefront of African-American education. In the early 1900s, institutions like the Garysburg Industrial Institute and the T. S. Inborden School were established, which provided education and vocational training for African American children.
One fun fact about Northampton County is that the town of Rich Square was once known as the "Mother of Governors," as it was the birthplace of three North Carolina governors: George B. Everette, Albert W. Hicks, and O. Max Gardner. This fact highlights the significant role that Northampton County has played in North Carolina's history and politics.
