== Fun facts ==
* Apart from several contiguous counties in South Texas; Northampton County is the only county in the United States to vote Democrat at every election over the past century; the last Democratic candidate to lose the county was William Jennings Bryan in 1896. Apart from Hubert Humphrey and McGovern who received no more than 51 percent, every Democratic nominee in the past century has received at least 61 percent of the county’s vote.
* Garysburg is a historically black community.
* The Northampton County Electric Mills are located near Conway.
* Seaboard was created as a company town by the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad about 10 miles northeast of Weldon in the mid-1840s as a place for railroad employees to live.
* In 1959, the county went to the U.S. Supreme Court to defend the use of a literacy test as a requirement to vote. In Lassiter v. Northampton County Board of Elections, the court held that, provided the tests were applied equally to all races and were not "merely a device to make racial discrimination easy," they were allowable. Congress subsequently prohibited use of such tests under the National Voting Rights Act of 1965.
