PREFACE
Greenville, North Carolina
"OUR GREENVILLE - YOURS IF YOU COME"
Greenville, North Carolina, established in 1786, named for General Nathaniel Greene, the Hero of the Battle of Guilford Court House, and the County Seat of Pitt County, is a progressive, educational, residential, trading and agricultural marketing center. In 1955 it embraced an area of 5.47 square miles and is expanding steadily in area and in population.
Greenville is located in North Carolina's Coastal Plain Section, ap- proximately mid-way between Raleigh, the State Capital, and the Atlantic Coast, which is one of the State's most productive agricultural areas.
The citizens, early in its history, were interested in education, estab- lishing Greenville Academy in 1814, and Greenville Female Academy in 1830, and with substantial financial assistance from the County and City. the State in 1907 located East Carolina College in Greenville. Today this Institution has a plant value of $9,250,000.00, a 1955 student enrollment of 2,940, and offers courses in teacher training and liberal arts leading to Masters Degrees. The College together with the City's accredited public school system provide the facilities for the educatoinal needs of its youth from kindergarten through a Masters Degree from College.
Greenville's 325 retail stores serving a population of 165,000 within a radius of 25 miles had in 1954 a retail trade volume of $29,323,000. It also ranks 11th among the cities in North Carolina, in wholesale volume with 56 establishments serving a large area in this section.
Greenville is one of the Nation's largest Tobacco Markets, and is one of the two having 5 complete sets of buyers. Its 21 auction warehouses and processing plants embrace an area of over three million square feet of floor space devoted to the handling of flue-cured cigarette tobacco.
While in a predominantly agricultural area, Greenville is expanding industrially, having 27 manufacturing plants with principal products including: carpet yarns, dry cell batteries, bottled beverages, bakery products, dairy products, fertilizer, hosiery, insecticides, livestock feed, leaf tobacco, lumber, millwork and meat products.
Its banking facilities have kept pace with the city's growth and there are now five banks, one of which operates branches in 11 other communities in this section. There are two strong savings and loan associations, and a Production Credit Association serving farmers ex- clusively.
The State's first Baptist conference was organized in Greenville in 1830. Now there are 36 churches, 19 for whites and 17 for negroes, rep- resenting practically all major denominations.
Recreation facilities are comparable to those provided in any com- munity in the area. Greenville's year round municipal recreation pro- gram is conducted by a competent trained staff. East Carolina College and the City Schools field excellent teams of baseball, football and basketball.
Hunting in the nearby forests are favorite sports, as well as fresh

Greenville's efficient Council-Manager Government, cultural and educational advantages, modern 130 bed Pitt Memorial Hospital, two score Physicians, Specialists and Dentists, well managed Municipal Utili- ties, moderate tax rates, equitable climate, two railroads, network of paved highways in all directions and other requisites, together with its friendly citizens as expressed by its slogan, "Our Greenville, Yours If You Come", make it a highly regarded city in which to live, rear a family, and work.
PITT COUNTY
Pitt County, of which Greenville is the County Seat, named for Wil- liam Pitt, the Earl of Chatham, was formed November 25, 1760. Martin- borough, established in 1774, located 21/2 miles East of Greenville, was its first County Seat. The County's population in 1950 was 63,770.
History relates that the first Masonic Lodge in North Carolina was formed at Crown Point, Pitt County. Iron ore, (although of poor quality), found in Chicod and Pactolus townships, was used for manufacturing purposes during the Revolutionary War. A cotton planter patented in 1867 by Captain Bryant Smith of Falkland, and later improved by J. C. Cox, revolutionized cotton planting.
The governmental affairs of the County, are administered on the business basis by a Board of five Commissioners. The County School system includes all schools except those in the Greenville district and consists of 14 high schools and 26 grammar schools with a total enroll- ment in 1955 of 13,326 pupils. Modern buildings and equipment staffed by trained teachers give the county school system a very high rank in the State.
The County maintains an efficient Welfare Department and with Greenville participating, a Health Department ranking with the best in the State, located in a new modern building adjacent to the Pitt County Memorial Hospital at Greenville.
In addition to Greenville, the County Seat, there are 10 progressive towns in the County including: Ayden, Bethel, Falkland, Farmville, Foun- tain, Grifton, Grimesland, Pactolus, Stokes, and Winterville.
Pitt County is a veritable agricultural empire. In 1954 it ranked first in the State in gross cash farm income and 67th in the nation's 200 lead- ing agricultural counties, with a volume of $35,025,000 according to the 1955 edition of Sales Management, "Survey of Buying Power".
Principal crops produced are cigarette tobacco, corn, cotton, live- stock, milk, peanuts, potatoes, poultry and eggs. Pitt County is the larg- est producer of flue cured cigarette tobacco in the nation.
This county also is adapted to industry particularly to those using agricultural and forest products. There are 26 plants in the County in- cluding lumber which predominates and others making tobacco curers, pickles, hosiery, and farm implements.
