History of Bath

Bath, North Carolinas first incorporated town was founded in 1705 and served as the first official port of entry for the new colony. Here lies an unspoiled picture of North Carolinas rich past, the states first colonial church, its first library and a number of examples of colonial homes and buildings.

Bath also served as the first colonial capital until it was moved to nearby Washington in 1785. The town's oldest home today is the 1751 Palmer-Marsh House, the classic Georgian-style national Historic Landmark that has served generations as a home for a Royal colonial official, sea traders and other families. 

The 1830 Joseph Bonner House still stand as testiment to the unique architecture of Eastern North Carolina's sound country. Perhaps the most famous structure is St. Thomas Church, the state's first church which was begun as an Anglican parish in 1734.
