Northampton County, Administrative county in northeastern North Carolina, United States.

The establishment of Northampton County in 1741 marked a significant period of colonial development in North Carolina, becoming one of the original subdivisions of the region.
The nine townships of Northampton County maintain separate identities through local festivals, community centers, and regular gatherings that connect residents throughout the year.
