PREFACE
Greenville, North Carolina "OUR GREENVILLE, YOURS IF YOU COME"
Greenville, North Carolina, the County Seat of Pitt County, estab- lished in 1786, and named for General Nathaniel Greene, the Hero of the Battle of Guilford Court House, is a progressive, educational, residential, trading and agricultural marketing center. In 1959 it em- braced an area of 6.447 square miles and is expanding steadily in area and in population.
Greenville is located approximately mid-way between Raleigh, the State Capital, and the Atlanic Coast, in North Carolina's Coastal Plain Section, which is one of the Sate's most productive agricultural areas.
The citizens, early in its history, were interested in education, establishing 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 $12,000,000.00, a 1959 on campus enrollment of 4,045 students and offers courses in teacher training and liberal arts leading to Masters Degrees. The College together with the City's accredited public school system pro- vide the facilities for the educational needs of its youth from kinder- garten through a Masters Degree from College.
Greenville's retail stores serving a population of 165,000 within a radius of 25 miles had in 1958 a retail trade volume of $32,925,000. It also ranks 12th among the cities in North Carolina, in volume of wholesale distribution.
Greenville is one of the Nation's largest Tobacco Markets, and is one of the two having five complete sets of buyers. Its 19 auction warehouses and its processing plants embrace an area of over two and one-half 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 33 manufacturing plants with principal products including: boats, carpet yarns, chemicals, dry cell batteries, bottled beverages, bakery products, dairy products, fertilizer, hosiery, live- stock feed, leaf tobacco, lumber, millwork and meat products.
Its banking facilities have kept pace with the city's growth and there now two banking firms with eight local offices; one firm operat- ing branches in 12 other communities in this area. A third banking firm has a branch under construction. There are two strong savings and loan associations, and a Production Credit Association serving farmers exclusively.
The State's first Baptist conferences was organized in Greenville in 1830. Now there are 44 churches, 25 for whites and 19 for Negroes, representing 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 water fishing in nearby rivers, the sounds, and inlets, and salt water fishing in the Atlantic Ocean.
Greenville's efficient Council-Manager Government, cultural and educational advantages, modern 130-bed Pitt Memorial Hospital, with a 70 bed addition under construction, two score Physicians, Specialists and Dentists, well managed Municipal Utilities, moderate tax rates, equable 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 family and work.
PITT COUNTY
Pitt County, of which Greenville is the County Seat, named for William Pitt, the Earl of Chaham, was formed November 25, 1760. Martinborough, established in 1774, located 212 miles East of Green- ville, 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 manufactur- ing purposes during the Revolutionary War. A cotton planter patented in 1867 by Captain Bryant Smith of Falkland, and later improved by T. C. Cox, revolutionized cotton planting.
The governmental affairs of the County, are administered by a busi- nessman Board of five Commissioners. The County School system in- cludes all schools except those in the Greenville district and consists of 14 high schools and 25 elementary schools with a total enrollment in 1867 by Captain Bryant Smith of Falkland, and later improved 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 and Mental Health Clinic, ranking with the best in the State, located at Greenville.
In addition to Greenville, the County Seat, there are 10 progressive towns in the County including: Ayden, Bethel, Falkland, Farmville, Fountain, Grifton, Grimesland, Pactolus, Stokes, and Winterville.
Pitt County is a veritable agricultural empire. In 1958 it ranked first in the state in value of farm products sold and 94th in the nation's 600 leading agricultural counties, with a volume of $35,198,000 according to the 1959 edition of Sales Management, "Survey of Buying Power."
Principal crops produced are cigarette tobacco, corn, cotton, livestock, milk, peanuts, potatoes, poultry and eggs. Pitt County is the largest 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 33 manufacturing plants in the County, outside of Greenville, including lumber which predomi- nates and others making tobacco curers, pickles, hosiery, and farm implements, Formica Flakeboard, livestock feed, and metalic cables.
