About EdentonOne of the oldest communities in the state, Edenton served as a Colonial center of commerce, society and politics. Named for Lords Proprietary governor Charles Eden and incorporated in 1722, it was the first capital of the colony.
On the courthouse green is a marker commemorating the Edenton Tea Party, thought to be the first purely political action by women in the American Colonies—on Oct. 25, 1774, a group of 51 signed a resolution supporting the action of the North Carolina Provincial Assembly to boycott highly taxed British goods.
