A Short History of Historic Bath County In 1663, North Carolina was granted to eight of the political friends of the recently restored King Charles II of England. These men, known as the Lords Proprietors of Carolina, promoted the settlement of this colony. Settlers from Virginia began to push into the Albemarle region of eastern Carolina. As this area became inhabited some of the more adventurous settlers pushed southward and by the 1690's settlers had begun to appear on the Pamlico River. In 1696, the county of Bath was established and in 1705 the present Beaufort County was established as Pampticough Precinct, the present Hyde County was established as Wickham Precinct, and the present Craven County was established as Archdale Precinct. In 1712, these three precincts were renamed to their present names and became counties. A History of Colonial Bath Where on earth is Bath, NC?
