Hertford
County is one of the original homes of
the Meherrin Indian tribe, and plays
host to a 6-square-mile reservation for
the tribe today. The county was
officially formed out of pieces of
Bertie County, Chowan County, and
Northampton County in 1759. It was so
named in honor of Francis
Seymour-Conway, the 1st Earl of Hertford
and later the 1st Marquess of Hertford.
In 1779, the northeastern part of the
county was combined with pieces of
Chowan County and Perquimans County to
form Gates County.

The county area has a temperate

Monthly precipitation averages about

The Hertford County Public School
system includes five traditional
schools plus a special student

Each of the schools is accredited by

Instruction. A comprehensive
