Elizabeth City is a city in Pasquotank County and in the State of North Carolina. With a population of 18,683 at the 2010 census, Elizabeth City is not only the county seat of Pasquotank County, but is also the largest city and by default, the cultural, economic and educational hub of the sixteen-county Historic Albemarle region of northeastern North Carolina. Because Elizabeth City has a high degree of economic integration with its neighboring counties, Elizabeth City has been designated as the heart of the Elizabeth City Micropolitan Statistical Area, with a population of 64,042 as of 2009. Because the area outside this city is sparsely populated, however, Elizabeth City only shares a border with one town—the consolidated city–county of Camden. This town is not only the economic center of this region, but is also home to many historic sites and cultural traditions.Marketed as the Harbor of Hospitality, Elizabeth City has had a long history of shipping due to its location at a narrowed bend of the Pasquotank River. Founded in 1794, Elizabeth City prospered early on from the Dismal Swamp Canal as a mercantile city, before later shifting later into a varied industrial and commercial focus. While Elizabeth City still retains its extensive waterfront property, it is thoroughly linked to neighboring counties and cities by interstate highways and bridges and serves as the site of the largest US Coast Guard Base in the nation.
