| Elizabeth City is a city in Pasquotank and Camden
counties in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The population was 17,188
at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Pasquotank Countyand the principal
city of the Elizabeth City Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Elizabeth City was founded as the town of Redding in 1793 on land acquired from Adam and Elizabeth Tooley. In 1794 the town was renamed Elizabeth, and in 1801 Elizabeth City. The name change has been variously attributed to honor either Queen Elizabeth I of England, who 200 years earlier spearheaded the colonization of the Carolina and Virginia coasts, or Elizabeth "Betsy" Tooley. Elizabeth City is located in North Carolina's Inner Banks region, and is nicknamed the "Harbor of Hospitality".

Elizabeth City, North Carolina has been three-times
named one of the “100 Best Small Towns in America” by author
Norm Crampton. The June 2004 edition of Money Magazine named Elizabeth
City "one of best places to live on the East Coast." It is a
special place, rich in history yet progressive and growing. Situated in
the far northeastern corner of North Carolina on the Pasquotank River
and Intracoastal Waterway, the City lies just west of the Outer Banks
of North Carolina and just south of Hampton Roads, Virginia. |
