Elizabeth City, Port city in northeastern North Carolina, US
Elizabeth City extends along the Pasquotank River near the Albemarle Sound, featuring waterfront areas, commercial districts, and residential neighborhoods across Pasquotank and Camden counties.
The settlement, established in 1794 as Redding, developed into a trade center after the completion of the Dismal Swamp Canal in 1828, connecting it to major waterways.
The Museum of the Albemarle presents exhibits about regional heritage, with collections highlighting the development of northeastern North Carolina from colonial times.
The city connects visitors to the Outer Banks beaches through Highway 158, while offering multiple accommodations and dining options in the downtown district.
Elizabeth City maintains the largest United States Coast Guard base in the continental US, earning official designation as a Coast Guard City in 2015.
