Living in Elizabeth City, NC
Elizabeth City was originally incorporated as the town of Redding in 1793. Redding grew and flourished over the next year, but was renamed Elizabethtown in 1794. However, it was soon discovered that two other towns with this name already existed in North Carolina, so in 1801 the town renamed itself Elizabeth City.
Today, Elizabeth City comprises a standalone region of industry, employment and residential space. Residents have worked hard to maintain the region's historic districts. Main Street Commercial, Main Street Residential, Northside, Shepard Street, Riverside and Elizabeth City State Teacher's College areas are all listed as National Historic Districts.
