Tarboro,
North
Carolina is located in the north-central
section of the state of North Carolina, between the
quickly growing Piedmont
Region and the beautiful Outer
Banks.
 Tarboro is one of the oldest towns in North Carolina.
Rich in history, the community has carefully preserved
its wonderful mix of architecture from the 1700’s
on. Boasting the only remaining Revolutionary
War era town commons in the state, Tarboro residents
enjoy the 15-acre park graced with ancient oaks, and
use it for concerts and events. Incorporated in
1760, Tarboro proudly claims a 45-block historic
district and downtown area, listed in the National
Register of Historic Places.
Founded on the banks of the Tar
River, Tarboro was a major river port and
commercial hub in its early days. Designated as
the seat of Edgecombe
County, Tarboro is the cultural center for the
area. With a population of just over 11,000
(Census 2000 data), the town still
 retains a charming,
‘front-porch atmosphere’. Along with its
wonderful array of carefully preserved historic
buildings and homes, residents hold to the traditions
and values of past generations. Tarboro earns a
reputation as a wonderful place to raise a family.
It lies close enough to metropolitan areas for modern
amenities, while still rich in history and down-home
pride.
Located 72 miles from the capital city of Raleigh
and 20 miles from rapidly growing Rocky
Mount, Tarboro is easily accessible by Interstate
95 and US Highway 64. The Tarboro-Edgecomb
Airport, Pitt-Greenville
as well as the Rocky
Mount-Wilson Airports are within 25 miles of the
town. Amtrak
and CSX
provide excellent rail service. Tarboro,
NC has a strong economic base, with industries in
textiles, food processing, plastics and
communications. Edgecombe County is at the
center of North
Carolina's agricultural region, growing cotton,
peanuts, corn and tobacco.
 Visitors to Tarboro enjoy the historic
walking tour, which starts at The
Grove, a restored plantation. The Blount-Bridgers
House, the original manor of the plantation,
serves today as a museum and arts center. The
walking tour winds through the downtown district, with
shops housed in Queen Anne mansions as well as simple
Georgian wood structures. A number of fine
restaurants and charming bed and breakfasts are found
here. During the annual Tarboro
Historic Extravaganza, live civil war
re-enactments are held, along with fascinating antique
shows and auctions.
Tarboro, North Carolina offers a rare and lovely
standard of living. Deeply rooted in the past,
Tarboro presents a solid foundation on which to build
a prosperous future.
