Old-fashioned southern hospitality and small-town living is carefully preserved in quiet and charming Hertford, an all-American town that is uniquely North Carolina. This close-knit neighborhood type of community makes you feel at home in no time. Take in historic sites, there are plenty to see, Hertford is the 7th oldest town in the State. Residents and visitors alike, enjoy the classic Victorian and Georgian style homes, and the accommodating local shops and restaurants flanking the banks of the Perquimans River.
