Historic Bath, NC

Settlement near the Pamlico River led to the creation of Bath, North Carolinas first town, in 1705. The town seemed to have a perfect location with easy access to the river and to the Atlantic Ocean. By 1708, Bath consisted of about 50 people. The trade of furs and tobacco were important and made Bath the first port of entry into North Carolina. A library sent to St. Thomas Parish in 1701 became the first public library in the colony. Bath was also the haunt of Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. He is said to have married a local girl and briefly settled in the little harbor town about 1716. There have always been legends that Blackbeard struck bargains in Bath with Royal Governor Charles Eden. Blackbeard and his hidden treasures remain a mystery today.
