Elizabeth City is a city in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, in the United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 18,683. Elizabeth City is the county seat and largest city of Pasquotank County. It is the cultural, economic and educational hub of the sixteen-county Historic Albemarle region of northeastern North Carolina.
Marketed as the "Harbor of Hospitality", Elizabeth City has had a long history of shipping due to its location at a narrowed bend of the Pasquotank River. Founded in 1794, Elizabeth City prospered early on from the Dismal Swamp Canal as a mercantile city, before later shifting into a varied industrial and commercial focus. While Elizabeth City still retains its extensive waterfront property, it is linked to neighboring counties and cities by highways and bridges and serves as the site of the largest US Coast Guard base in the nation.
Elizabeth City (or Elizabeth Cittie as it was then called) was one of four incorporations established in the Virginia Colony in 1619 by the proprietor, the Virginia Company of London, acting in accordance with instructions issued by Sir George Yeardley, Governor.
The plantations and developments were divided into four political divisions, called "incorporations", "burroughs", or "cities". These were James City, Charles City, Henrico City, and Kiccowtan or Kecoughtan (later Elizabeth City). Each of the four "citties" (sic) extended across the James River, the main conduit of transportation of the era.

We continue our series about a recent trip we took to Elizabeth City, North Carolina. We were there for a premiere of a documentary about the wild horses of the Outer Banks that was being held at a local museum. But we made a weekend of the trip by staying at a lovely Bed & Breakfast and exploring the great outdoors in Elizabeth City. In this video, we show you the beautiful natural scenery of this harbor town along the Pasquotank River. Sometimes referred to as part of the Inner Banks (the waterfront towns in Eastern North Carolina just west of the popular tourist area known as the Outer Banks), Elizabeth City is a lovely waterfront community without the crowds of the nearby Outer Banks.

SUMMARY
=======
Elizabeth City (or Elizabeth Cittie as it was then called) was one of four incorporations established in the Virginia Colony in 1619 by the proprietor, the Virginia Company of London, acting in accordance with instructions issued by Sir George Yeardley, Governor.The plantations and developments were divided into four political divisions, called "incorporations", "burroughs", or "cities". These were James City, Charles City, Henrico City, and Kiccowtan or Kecoughtan (later Elizabeth City). Each of the four "citties" (sic) extended across the James River, the main conduit of transportation of the era.
In 1634, under the authority of Charles I of England, Virginia was divided into eight counties, or shires. One of them was Elizabeth City Shire, later Elizabeth City County. Elizabeth City County existed until 1952, when it was incorporated as the independent city of Hampton, Virginia.

SUMMARY

Henrico City (or Henrico Cittie as it was then called) was one of four incorporations established in the Virginia Colony in 1619 North America by the proprietor, the Virginia Company. The plantations and developments were divided into four "incorporations" or "citties", as they were called. These were Charles City, Elizabeth City, Henrico City, and James City. The latter included the seat of government for the colony at Jamestown. Each of the four citties extended across the James River, the main conduit of transportation of the era.
Henrico's most promising early development, Sir Thomas Dale's Henricus, was abandoned during the Indian Massacre of 1622, as were the Falling Creek Ironworks. However, the offshoot town of Henrico, as differentiated from the adjacent, defunct fort, would survive until 1786, its courthouse having been burned by Benedict Arnold in 1781, during the 1776 revolution. Both locations were recently rediscovered and are now located in Chesterfield County, which was formed from parts of Henrico before the American Revolutionary War.
In 1634, under Royal authority, a portion became Henrico Shire, later Henrico County, Virginia. The county seat was designated near John Rolfe and Pocahontas' former home Varina Farms and remained there until 1752, when a new courthouse was built in Richmond.

Elizabeth City is a city in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, in the United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 18,683. Elizabeth City is the county seat and largest city of Pasquotank County. It is the cultural, economic and educational hub of the sixteen-county Historic Albemarle region of northeastern North Carolina.
Marketed as the "Harbor of Hospitality", Elizabeth City has had a long history of shipping due to its location at a narrowed bend of the Pasquotank River. Founded in 1794, Elizabeth City prospered early on from the Dismal Swamp Canal as a mercantile city, before later shifting into a varied industrial and commercial focus. While Elizabeth City still retains its extensive waterfront property, it is linked to neighboring counties and cities by highways and bridges and serves as the site of the largest US Coast Guard base in the nation.
He was my best friend, really like a brother We had such nerve, it never failed Used to be the fastest, we beat all the others Noone there to challenge, they were all afraid We traded in the first bikes, got a couple others Sitting on the saddles, we started feeling power Added more and more CC's, tried to find perfection We could fly so fast we'd leave them scared for hours Later when we finally bought the top of the line Oh how those motorcycles filled up all our fantasy Then it was too late, childhood behind We were living in a speedworld ecstasy 40 - 60 - 80 dreams fell through we saw the world in different colours 40 - 60 - 80 living in another world we had the devil at our sides 40 - 60 - 80 not a single mile slower we only saw the others behind us 40 - 60 - 80 we weren't stupid kids we were the awesome new kings of every highway Top of the line Top of the line 80 - 90 - 100 and then came the end I heard him cry and found the street was a sea of red 80 - 90 - 100 my best friend was dead Now, the very next morning Girl is kind of ashamed Sorry about the boy last night Wish he'd called her her name Girl makes a decision If she'll meet that boy again Girl won't try to resist him She'll kiss him again
