Tarboro, North Carolina

Incorporated in 1760, Tarboro, NC is one of the oldest towns in the United States. Amazingly, the town still has its original Town Common, a 15-acre park canopied by tall oaks that marks the threshold to our 45-block Historic District and renovated Downtown, all listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Economic prosperity enables Tarboro's residents to enjoy a rare quality of life. The town's historic downtown has been recently revitalized and recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation "Main Street Program".

A variety of shopping centers and modern residential areas compliment the Historic District, providing residents with convenient goods and services and quality housing of varying styles and prices.

Residents can also enjoy the many recreational facilities the town offers its citizens: a fifteen-acre Town Common, three recreation Centers, a community pool complex, 10 tennis courts, three major parks and several neighborhood parks, two boat ramps accessing the Tar River, and Indian Lake, a 52-acre natural park.
