== Fun facts ==
* The 2000 Census showed the town's population to be 940, although this was taken shortly after Hurricane Floyd had occurred the year before, which flooded the whole area and nearly wiped it entirely off the map.
* In July 2012, the State Treasurer's Office took control of the books for financially strapped Princeville, only the fifth time the state has taken over for a local municipality since the 1930s. Princeville has been taken over twice – the state also assumed control of its books in 1997.
* Princeville was established by freed slaves shortly after the Civil War. It is the country's oldest town incorporated by blacks.
* Princeville has very little amenities to offer. It has dollar stores, a few local restaurants and businesses, a few public battle fields, a welcome center, Brandy's, an ABC store, a used car dealership, and that's about it.
