Snow Hill, North Carolina, is home to approximately 1,614 residents who enjoy the hidden treasurers of country-style living: fresh air, comfort, beautiful natural surroundings and a pace of life that’s hard to match. But Greenville, Kinston, Goldsboro, Wilson and Farmville are a quick trip away. North Carolina’s capitol, Raleigh, is within easy access, as are many of North Carolina’s famed ocean beaches.
Originally a community in central Greene County, the Town of Snow Hill was formed in approximately 1828. Snow Hill has a rich past from its settling families that have been here for generations to the rumor of the Town almost becoming the capital of North Carolina. Snow Hill was originally a major trading depot on Contentnea Creek. At the time, Contentnea Creek was a main Wilson to New Bern trading artery. Contentnea Creek connects with the Neuse River in New Bern, the largest river in our state.
Snow Hill is the Greene County seat with roots that go back generations. It’s the kind of town where you’ll see people you know in restaurants and stores and can spend a moment talking with them. Or, you can enjoy nature along Contentea Creek or golf at one of the many nearby golf courses and country clubs.
