Please check out the new historical Halifax County maps that our GIS Specialist Sandy Herron released to the public today as our contribution to Historic Halifax and America's 250th Celebration! This is our first venture into "story maps" with hopefully more to come in the future.

This site is meant to showcase some of the historical data that has been recorded about Halifax County, North Carolina. While the maps and reports presented here do provide great resources to learn about Halifax County, this is not all the data that is publicly available. We as people are always discovering new facts about our past. So please, do not consider this an exhaustive nor authoritative list. Have fun, and enjoy learning more about the county of Halifax!
