Historic Shepherd's Point |
|
|
| This area of North Carolina's "Crystal Coast" was the product of
extensive planning by John Motley Morehead, governor of North Carolina
from 1841 to 1845. He envisioned "a great commercial city" where
Shepherd's Point intersected with the Newport River and Beaufort Inlet.
Plans were developed to extend the North Carolina Railroad from Goldsboro
to Shepherd's Point. |
