"OUR GREENVILLE - YOURS IF YOU COME"


(Directory Population Territory Covered, 17.775)


HISTORY: Martinsborough was established in 1774 as the County Seat of the area then known as Pitt County. In 1786 its name was changed to Greenville in honor of General Nathaniel Greene, the hero of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. Greenville is now the educational, and one of the most important commercial centers of the coastal plain section of North Carolina.


PITT COUNTY, with 1950 population of 63,789 was formed in 1760, and named in honor of William Pitt, the Earl of Chatham. Tobacco, as with many of the counties of Eastern North Carolina, and Virginia, was and is now the major cash crop. From the days when tobacco was packed by hand in hogsheads, through which an axle had been placed, and then rolled to boat landings for transfer to markets on the coasts, Pitt County has attained the distinction of being the largest producer of brigh leaf, flue-cured tobacco in the nation. Instead of shipping the crop to other cities to market, Greenville now has more than three million square feet of floor space devoted to the sale and processing of tobacco.


GREENVILLE, the County Seat of Pitt County, is located in the Coastal Section of North Carolina, 84 miles East of Raleigh, the State Capital; 137 miles Southwest of Norfolk, Virginia; 159 miles South of Richmond, Virginia; and 267 miles South of Washington, D. C.


POPULATION: According to U. S. Census, the City's population in 1950 was 16,724-98.4% American, an increase in a ten year period of 32 per cent. The present city Directory population is 17,775.


POST OFFICE RECEIPTS in 1940 totalled $62,529.92; and in 1953- $175,905.74.


THE GOVERNMENT is Council-Manager Form.


CLIMATE: Mild, equitable ,and free from severe storms. The average annual mean rainfall is 49 inches, and the average mean annual temperature is 62 degrees. Growing season is 215 days.


ALTITUDE ranges between 64 and 75 feet above sea level with the topography rolling and well drained.


STREETS: Approximately 44.5 miles paved and gravel surfaced.


EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES in Greenville are unexcelled in the Coast Plain section of North Carolina. The City's public school system, accredited since 1917, has seven schools, three of which are for Negroes, all operating for a full nine months' term with the High Schools provid- ing twelve grades. Expansions for which $1,500,000 in bonds were voted in 1953, will be completed early in 1955.
