Nestled along the Perquimans River as it flows toward the Albemarle Sound, Hertford, North Carolina is a quiet historic town with deep regional roots. Its location places it near the southern side of the Great Dismal Swamp and approximately 75 minutes from both the Outer Banks and the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
As one of the oldest towns in North Carolina, Hertford invites visitors to slow down, enjoy the waterfront setting, and experience the character of a community shaped by history, water, and small-town hospitality.
