Camden County, Administrative division in northeastern North Carolina, United States
Camden County extends over 241 square miles of coastal plains between Currituck County and Pasquotank County, featuring waterfront along the Albemarle Sound.
The county was established in 1777 from northeastern Pasquotank County and named after Sir Charles Pratt, First Earl of Camden, who opposed the Stamp Act.
The Camden County Heritage Museum preserves local artifacts and stories through interpretive panels and exhibits, including a preserved early 1900s jail building.
The county operates three main townships: South Mills Township, Courthouse Township of Camden, and Shiloh Township, with Camden serving as the county seat.
The Dismal Swamp Canal, constructed in 1805, stands as the oldest continuously operating artificial waterway in the United States, connecting Chesapeake Bay to Albemarle Sound.
