Built along the Roanoke River, the town of Halifax was established by a group of merchants in 1757 as a commercial center, taking advantage of the fertile land and easy transport the river provided. In 1758, Edgecombe County was divided, and the town of Halifax became the seat of the newly formed Halifax County.
