Washington, North Carolina

Washington North Carolina holds the distinction as being the first town named after our first president, George Washington, and has a rich history.

Washington NC is comprised of a grid-work collection of streets and sits on the banks of the Pamlico River, a place where pines sip from flowing waters.

The river links Washington to the Pamlico Bay, the Outer Banks NC and finally the Atlantic Ocean, providing an environment of economic viability and natural beauty.

The waterfront and downtown sectors of Washington are filled with 19^th century buildings, reminding citizens of when the town was a shipping center.

Today, Washington NC continues to embrace its past, while its location provides easy access to the waterways that helped it grow. The waterway has also helped other towns and cities to become prosperous, such as Edenton, NC to the north and Morehead City, NC to the south.

Route 17 runs north and south, and Route 264 runs east and west connecting Washington NC with the rest of the mainland.

Greenville NC is only twenty-five minutes to the west, while New Bern NC is only about an hour to the south. Raleigh-Durham North Carolina is about two hours west.
