The Prettiest Small Town in the South
The Prettiest Small Town In The South
What is it like to live and work in Edenton and Chowan County? Some came here because they were looking for a slower pace of life, looking to escape the traffic and chaos of big cities. Others wanted a quieter and safer place to work and raise their family. Many of our residents visited this area for a night and fell so deeply in love with this place that they never left.

Connection to nature
The Albemarle Sound provides almost unlimited opportunities for enjoying the water from swimming to boating to waterskiing, kayaking, and more.
