Known as the “Harbor of Hospitality”, life in Elizabeth City, NC is about as appealing as it gets when it comes to modern living.  Our history runs deep — 350 years deep, to be exact. For the history buff looking to take a trip back in time, or the explorer adding another stop on their adventure tour, there’s no shortage of stories to immerse yourself in along the Pasquotank River. Once a major seaport where four-masted sailing ships carried goods to and from the new world, the City now offers free 48-hour boat dockage to travelers from around the world. The “Rose Buddies,” the world-renowned waterfront ambassadors, greet visiting boaters with a rose, wine and cheese.

Elizabeth City residents know how to celebrate and have fun! There’s an event for every season, monthly art, live music, ghost walks, regattas … yes, we even celebrate the potato. Discover quaint coffeehouses, charming bookstores, and unique specialty shops scattered throughout historic settings.  The city has six National Register Historic Districts and is home to the Museum of the Albemarle, The Center at Arts of the Albemarle, Port Discover Hands-on Science Center and one of the largest U.S. Coast Guard air stations in the Continental United States.
