Edgecombe County; in the coastal plains of North Carolina along the Tar River; was once home to the Tuscarora tribes and was founded by English immigrants from Virginia. The county swelled as an agricultural center in the cotton and textile industries; bolstered by a wealth of lumber and sustained by a thriving inland river port and railroad. Though the residents struggled through natural; industrial; and economic upheaval; their courage and fortitude endured these hardships and unified their community.

WilsonWhile this may be a small. out of the way community. it has a long and illustrious history.
