Edenton is...

Colonial History, Southern Grace, and a Magnificent Waterfront Setting

Draped in centuries-old cypress, magnolia, and crape myrtle, Edenton is a unique showcase of architecture, culture, and Old South charm.

Nowhere outside Charleston, SC can you experience anything like our unique historic district. We're proud of our tree-draped avenues, our sidewalks and porch swings, our noontime church bells, and our spectacular sunsets over the Albemarle Sound.

We're equally proud of our remarkable natural surroundings. Cypress groves shade broad rivers and mysterious swamps, while Osprey, Bald Eagles, and thousands of migratory birds soar above. Edenton is a naturalist and sportsman's paradise, with some of the best fishing, canoeing, and birdwatching on the East Coast.

Don't be fooled, though, by our historic architecture and rural surroundings - Edenton is a 21st-century town featuring high-speed Internet access, coffee shops and bistros, a microbrewery, even a burgeoning software industry.

Come and visit Edenton, rightfully called the 'South's Prettiest Small Town.' Relax in one of our historic Bed and Breakfast inns, golf, fish, tour the historic district, and enjoy our many fine restaurants. Life is just a little bit better here in Edenton!
