Bayboro
Bayboro was named for the Bay River and settled long before it was incorporated in 1881. It is the oldest incorporated town in Pamlico County and became the county seat in 1876. The following year, the courthouse was relocated to Bayboro from Stonewall. Although narrow, the Bay River is navigable all the way to the town. Contact the Town of Bayboro, P.O.
