Perquimans
Perquimans County boasts 100 miles of shoreline and perhaps more “firsts” to its credit than
any other county in North Carolina. The first land deed and first recorded sale of land by an
Indian to a white man occurred here. The first permanent settlement, the first courthouse,
and the first church service can be traced back to Perquimans as well. The county is said to
have taken its name from an Indian word meaning “land of beautiful women”.
