| Pamtecough County (precinct) was formed in 1705
from part of the existing Bath
County. In 1712, Pamtecough County was renamed to Beaufort
County. In 1705, one of the sub-divisions of Bath County was named Pamptecough County. This Indian word was gradually anglicized to "Pamlico," now the name of the major waterways upon which Pamtecough bordered, the Pamlico Sound, and the Pamlico River. An even later division (in 1879) created the contemporary Pamlico County. Click Here to see the approximate boundaries of Pamtecough County during its brief existence. |
