Did You Know?

That the Neuse River has one of the three oldest surviving English-applied place names in the U.S.  Colonists named the Neuse River after an American Indian tribe known as Neusiok.  Arthur Barlowe and Phillip Armadas were commissioned by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584 to explore the New World. In their 1585 report to Raleigh, they wrote favorably of the Indian population in “…the country Neusiok, situated upon a goodly river called Neuse…”, as it was called by the local population.
