Camden County, Administrative division in northeastern North Carolina, United States
Camden County is an administrative region in northeastern North Carolina covering about 241 square miles of coastal plains. It sits between neighboring counties and borders the Albemarle Sound.
The region was established in 1777 when it split from neighboring Pasquotank County and took the name of Sir Charles Pratt, who opposed tax policies. This founding created a new administrative area in northeastern coastal lands.
The Camden County Heritage Museum tells local stories through exhibits and a restored early 1900s jail building that visitors can explore. These collections help people understand how communities developed in this region.
The county is organized into three townships with Camden as the administrative center. Visitors should know this is a lightly settled area with limited facilities spread across the region.
The Dismal Swamp Canal, built in 1805, stands as one of the country's oldest engineered waterways still in use today, connecting two major bays. It remains navigable and demonstrates early engineering skill.
