New Bern(formerlyNewbern[6]) is acityin and thecounty seatofCraven County, North Carolina,United States. At the2020 census,it had a population of 31,291.[7]It is located at the confluence of theNeuseand theTrentrivers, near the headwaters ofPamlico Soundon the North Carolina coast. It lies 112 miles (180 km) east ofRaleigh,89 miles (143 km) north ofWilmington,and 162 miles (261 km) south ofNorfolk.
New Bern was founded in October 1710 by thePalatinesandSwissunder the leadership ofChristoph von Graffenried.The new colonists named their settlement afterBern,theSwiss regionfrom which many of the colonists and theirpatronhad emigrated.[8]New Bern is the second-oldest European-settled colonial town in North Carolina, afterBath.[9]It served as the capital of North Carolina from 1770 to 1792. After theAmerican Revolution(1775–1783), New Bern became wealthy and quickly developed a rich cultural life. At one time New Bern was called "the Athens of the South,"[9]renowned for itsMasonic Templeand Athens Theater. These are both still very active today.
New Bern has four historic districts listed on theNational Register of Historic Places;their numerous contributing buildings include residences, stores and churches dating back to the early eighteenth century. Within walking distance of the waterfront are more than 164 homes and buildings listed on the National Register. Also nearby are several bed and breakfasts, hotels, restaurants, banks, antiques stores and specialty shops. The historic districts contain many of the city's 2,000crape myrtles—its official flower—and developed gardens. New Bern has two "Local Historic Districts", a municipal zoning overlay that affords legal protection to the exteriors of New Bern's historic structures.
History
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Tryon_Palace%2C_North_Carolina%27s_First_Colonial_Capital%2C_New_Bern_LCCN2011631094.tif/lossy-page1-220px-Tryon_Palace%2C_North_Carolina%27s_First_Colonial_Capital%2C_New_Bern_LCCN2011631094.tif.jpg)
New Bern was settled in October 1710 by thePalatinesandSwissunder the leadership ofChristoph von Graffenried.[10][11]The new colonists named their settlement after theCanton of Bern,home state of their patron. Von Graffenried had theoriginal platof the town laid out in the shape of a cross, though later development and additional streets have obscured this pattern within the regularstreet grid.The British governor’s palace (present-dayTryon Palace) served as the capitol of North Carolina from 1770 until the state government relocated to Raleigh in 1792, after a fire had destroyed much of the capitol. This became the first permanentcapital cityof North Carolina.
There was no printer in North Carolina until 1749, when the North Carolina Assembly commissionedJames Davisfrom Williamsburg, Virginia to act as their official printer. Before this time the laws and legal journals of North Carolina were handwritten and were largely kept in a disorganized manner, prompting them to hire Davis. Davis settled in New Bern and was appointed by Colonial postmaster generalBenjamin Franklinas North Carolina's first postmaster, who also became active in North Carolina's politics, as a member of the Assembly and later as the Sheriff. Davis also founded and printed theNorth-Carolina Gazettein New Bern, North Carolina's first newspaper.[12][13]
During the 19th-century Federal period, New Bern became the largest city in North Carolina, developed on the trade of goods and slaves associated withplantation agriculture.[14]AfterRaleighwas named the state capital in 1792, New Bern rebuilt its economy by expanding on trade via shipping routes to theCaribbeanandNew England.[14]It was part of theTriangle Tradein sugar, slaves, and desired goods. It reached a population of 3,600 in 1815.[14]
In 1862 during the early stages of theAmerican Civil War,the area was the site of theBattle of New Bern.Federalforces captured and occupied the town until the end of the war in 1865. Nearly 10,000 enslaved blacks escaped during this period in the region and went to theUnion Armycamps for protection and freedom. The Union Army set up the Trent Rivercontrabandcamp at New Bern to house the refugees. It organized the adults for work. Missionaries came to teach literacy to both adults and children.

Due to the continuous occupation by the Union Army, New Bern avoided some of the destruction of the war years. There was much social disruption because of the occupation and the thousands offreedmencamped near the city. Whereas the1860 Censushad shown a population of 5,432 (of which 3,072, or 57%, were black), the population had swollen by the end of the war to more than 20,000, mostly because of the influx of freedmen.[15]Still, New Bern recovered more quickly than many cities after the war. By the 1870s the lumber industry was developing as the chief part of New Bern's economy. Timber harvested could be sent downriver by the two nearby rivers. The city continued to be a center for freedmen, who created communities independent of white supervision: thriving churches, fraternal associations, and their own businesses. By 1877 the city had a majority-black population.
The state legislature defined the city and county as part ofNorth Carolina's 2nd congressional districtwhich, as former plantation territory, held a concentration of the state's black residents. They elected four blacks to the US Congress in the late 19th century. The state's passage of a constitutional suffrage amendment in 1900 used various devices todisenfranchiseblack citizens. As a result, they were totally closed out of the political process, including participation on juries and in local offices; white Democrats maintained this suppression mostly, until after passage of federal civil rights legislation, including theVoting Rights Act of 1965,which provided for federal enforcement of constitutional rights.
By 1890 New Bern had become the largest lumber center in North Carolina and one of the largest in all of the South. During this time, as many as 16 lumber mills were running and employing hundreds of men from New Bern and the area. The competitive nature of the lumber barons, the abundance of lumber and craftsmen, led to the construction in New Bern of some of the finest homes in the South, many of which have survived. The lumber boom lasted until the 1920s. One by one the lumber mills went out of business. Today onlyWeyerhaeusermanufactures lumber in the area.[citation needed]
The city has four National Historic Districts and two local ones, which have helped preserve the character of the architecture. The Downtown Local Historic District is 368.64 acres (149.18 ha) or 0.576 square miles (1.49 km2); the Riverside Local Historic District covers 51.94 acres (21.02 ha) or 0.081 square miles (0.21 km2). Union Point Park borders theNeuseand Trent rivers.
Hurricanes
[edit]New Bern's location near the Atlantic coast renders it subject to the effects ofAtlantic hurricane seasons.For example, in the 18th century the town suffered severe damage in theGreat Chesapeake Bay Hurricane of 1769.[16]Other hurricanes such asIonein 1955 andFloydin 1999 (just as examples) have also caused significant flooding and damage.[17]
In September 2018,Florencemade landfall in the United States just south ofWrightsville Beach,88.4 miles southwest of New Bern. A storm surge up to 13.5 feet in addition to days of heavy rains severely flooded various parts of the town. [National Hurricane Center Storm Surge Inundation Map, Sept 13, 2018]
