About Elizabeth City, North Carolina
Elizabeth City is a city of 18,631 people and the seat of Pasquotank County, at a narrow bend of the Pasquotank River. By the middle of the 18th century, colonists traded at the narrows and set up ferries and inspection stations. A schoolhouse and a church soon followed. Local businessmen backed the Dismal Swamp Canal in 1793, and the state assembly incorporated the town as Redding.
The town became Elizabethtown in 1794. Another town already had that name, so in 1801 it was renamed Elizabeth City. The name is credited to Elizabeth "Betsy" Tooley, who kept a tavern and gave much of the land for the new town. The canal carried its trade. The federal government bought 600 stocks in it in 1826, a Norfolk lottery raised more money in 1829, and the wider, deeper channel let bigger boats reach the city. The customs house moved here from Camden County in 1827, and tolls tripled from 1829 to 1832.
- Taken by the Union fleetThe Confederates kept a small fleet at Elizabeth City during the Civil War. Once the Battle of Roanoke Island was over, the Union sent ships against the city and won the short fight that followed. The city stayed under Union control until the war ended, while Confederate irregulars kept up a guerrilla war in the countryside around it.
- 30 subchasers in two yearsFrom 1942 to 1944 the Elizabeth City Shipyard built thirty 111-foot submarine chasers, four yard tugboats and six 104-foot supply boats. Its 30 subchasers were more than any other yard built, out of 438 in the whole country, and it set the record time for the class with SC-740. The shipyard had closed by January 2020.
- Watching for U-boatsCoast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City opened in 1940, and Naval Air Station Weeksville followed in 1941. Their seaplanes and blimps hunted German U-boats that were attacking merchant ships off the East Coast. Weeksville's hangar of Southern Yellow Pine, built to save metal for the war, stood as the world's largest wooden structure until fire destroyed it in 1995. Blimps are still built and serviced here, and the Coast Guard station now covers over 800 acres.
- A university since 1891In 1891 the General Assembly passed a bill from Hugh Cale, Pasquotank County's African American lawmaker, that created the Normal and Industrial School. That school became Elizabeth City State University. Moore Hall, the Practice School and the Principal's House from its days as the State Teachers College joined the National Register in 1994.
