Edenton - a town in, and the county seat of, Chowan County, N.C., on Albemarle Sound. In 1658 adventurers from the Jamestown area drifted through the wilderness from Virginia and
found a location on the northern shore of a small natural harbor now called Edenton Bay. Edenton Colony was the first permanent European settlement in what is now the state of North Carolina.
