Snow Hill | community in N Chowan County. |
Snow Hill | county seat and town, central Greene County. Alt. 74. Authorized to be laid off 1811; inc. 1828. Named for a nearby plantation of the same name, which probably was named for a hill of white sand. John Becton in 1753 willed lands "called the Snow Hills" in the county to his son Michael. Shortly after the Revolution, the Shepherd family tried without success to promote a town at the site to be called Shepherdsburgh. The ancient Tuscarora Indian town Catechna was located nearby. Today the town produces lumber, milling, and textile products. |
