Hertford County, North Carolina
Hertford County occupies North Carolina's northeastern Coastal Plain along the Virginia border, centered on the trade town of Ahoskie, the college town of Murfreesboro, home to Chowan University, and the small seat, Winton. A Nucor steel mill, Perdue poultry plants, and a federal prison anchor the job base, and with population slowly declining, activity centers on existing housing stock rather than new subdivisions.
