As Mayor of Hertford, North Carolina, it is my honor to welcome you to our website. Hertford is a small water town located on the beautiful Perquimans River that flows into the Albemarle Sound. Approximately 75 minutes from the Outer Banks and Hampton Roads area of Virginia and on the southern side of the Great Dismal Swamp. Hertford was incorporated in 1758, one of the oldest towns in North Carolina. It is a wonderful place to visit, live, do business or retire. Again, thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about our community.
