Hookerton is a town in Greene County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 467 at the 2000 census. It is geographically located southwest of Snow Hill, NC on highway 123. This small community was named after its landowner, William Hooker.
Presently, Billie Albritton acts as the economic developer for the Town of Hookerton. And although Highway 123 runs right through the area, the town has consistently been on a decline. However, because of a $113,000 grant from North Carolina Rural Economic Center, Hookerton is seeing progress in the upcoming development of the town. Two older building have been restored, bringing in new businesses and securing 10 new jobs, which is encouraging. Hookerton is a quaint town with a historical background that is to be appreciated.
