Tarboro, NC (Edgecombe County)
Tarboro is a small coastal plains town which has served as a political and regional trade center since its establishment at the upper terminus of navigation of the Tar River in 1760. The present character of the historic district of the town is a pleasant combination of many contrasting, complementary elements--of small-town graciousness and considerable energy and bustle; of large historic natural open spaces (including the common, the riverside area, and notable churchyards) and densely filled commercial and residential blocks; of handsome and well-preserved tree-lined residential avenues and the contemporary industrial and compact original commercial areas that produced them; of a substantial number of early days of the town and an important collection of houses, shops, churches, and industrial buildings of the postwar growth era; and a remarkable blend of the Old South charm associated with the historic town, and the New South energy of postwar industrialization that made the town what it is today.
