oysters.
There are at present two oyster
factories, and a new combined fish,
oyster, and crab house is now
nearing completion costing $780,
600, and, when complete, it will
be the largest in the state.
In winter, the waters adjacent
to Belhaven abound in geese and
ducks, and just 40 miles distant is
new Holland, which offers the best
goose shooting in the United
States.
The town is in the line of flight
of sea planes following the coast,
and it's broad and quiet harbor fur
nishes an ideal spot for them to
light from any direction.
Artesian wells supplying purest
water may be found all over town,
and the entire water supply is OBJ
tanned from deep wells.
Back Country: Belhaven is sur
rounded by magnificent farming
country. Within a radius of 20
miles, there have been established
six drainage districts, having
around ITS miles of canals 20 feet
wide or more, all cut by dredges,
and all complete. These districts
embrace about 100000 acres of
land as fertile as the valley of the
Nile. Much of this land has been
cleared, and, with business again
normal, Belhaven can hope to be
a great shipping port. The lands
will produce a great variety of
crops and grasses and, as before
stated, are highly productive.
The woods abound in deer, squir-
rel, bear, and other game, while
the quail are as plentiful as any,
where in the state. Belhaven is
therefore a sportsman's paradise,
and a great many people come
each year to hunt and fish.
| Climate: Owing to the presence
of so much water, Belhaven has a
delightful climate. During cold
spells, it has often been observed
that there is S degrees difference
in the temperature in Belhaven
and points ten miles distant. Roses
have bloomed all of this winter
although that is somewhat unusual.
It is never excessively hot or cold,
and it is an ideal spot for tourists
to pause in their journey to and
from the South.
Roads: It is connected with all
parts of the state by hard-sur-
faced roads, and the only road
coming out of Hyde County passes
road, the Norfolk and Southern,
through the town. It has one rail
and it has adequate bus service.
| Civic: 1t has modern light, water
and sewer system, a fine city hall
and two modern school houses.

History
The territory extending along
Pantego river from Cuckolds Creek
to Pungo River was originally a
densely-wooded forest, and was
known as Jacks Neck. Prior to
the year 1884, this neck had only
two families living in it, a white
man named Jesse Jarvis, who with
his family lived in what is now
known as West Belhaven, and a
Negro named Henry Simmons, who
lived on a road leading out of the
neck towards Haslin.
Just prior to the Civil War, a
man named Dave Whorton built
and operated a saw mill on PAN
tego Creek about a mile from
its mouth at spot which is now
in the heart of Belhaven. During
the year 1866, the gunboat Louis
lana fired at this mill in passing,
but the shell missed fire and is
now preserved as a relic by the
Topping family.
In 1884, a young man named S.
j., Topping built a house on the
point overlooking the water and
thus became the first citizen of
what was destined to become the
town of Belhaven. Mr.. Topping is
still living with his family at the
same location and he is still one
of the towns most prominent citi-
zens.
In 1890, a big lumber company
which had built a railroad from
Roper to Pantego conceived the
idea Of extending it to the water
near the former location of Whor-
toms mill above referred to, a dis
lance of five miles from Pantego,
and the road Immediately became
commercial road. DIR. w. J. Bull
lock, a resident of Pantego, had
long been impressed with the idea
that such a magnificent waterfront
would some day be valuable, and
he had purchased practically all of
the land in Jacks Neck. AS soon
as the railroad was completed, he
laid out a town site and began
building streets around the rail-
road terminus. He first named his
town Malta Pungo after his daugh-
ter Matte, but it seems that the
old gentleman became Tiled at her
for some cause and changed the
name to Belle Port, thus honoring
his step daughter Belle. However
when he applied for a post office
he discovered that there was an
other town in the state with the
same name, and he changed it to
BelhRven.
In 1889, the town had popula-
ton of somewhere between 800
and 400, and it was then incor-
porated, with j. M. Lupton serving
as the first mayor and B. S. Clark
the first clerk.
In 1898, J. A. Wilkinson, for
mer citizen of Pantego, built quite
a large saw mill not far from the
two mills worked more than 1000
depot, and this mill constituted
Belhaven's first industry. Not long
after that, Mr.. Wilkinson brought
to the town it's first automobile
which, by the way, was said to be
the second in North Carolina. Lum-
Der was plentiful, and this milling
business grew until it was owned
and operated by a great corpora
ton, saving and planning 100000
feet of lumber per day. In the
meantime, certain oyster dealers
