THE TOWN OF NEW BERN
|
Click here to see town of New Bern  New
Bern, North Carolina's
second oldest town, was
founded in 1710 by a
Swiss nobleman who named
it after his native city
of Berne, Switzerland.
Bern means "bear" and
the "Bern Bear" symbol
is seen on the flag.
Commemorative cast-iron
bear heads decorate the
historic City Hall and
Central Fire Station. The
town of New Bern
survived an Indian
uprising in the early
18th century to become
the capital of the
British province of
North Carolina.
Throughout its rich and
colorful history, New
Bern has been a witness
to revolution and a
victim of war; in fact,
it was occupied by Union
troops during much of
the Civil War. New
Bern's historic
importance as a
strategic riverside port
and its tradition of
being a center of
culture earned it the
nickname "The Athens of
North Carolina." Today,
New Bern welcomes
visitors with a blend of
European cachet and a
rich tradition of true
Southern hospitality.The city is scenically situated on a peninsula at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent Rivers. The town is itself a historical treasure with more than 150 buildings listed as contributing to the National Register Historic District. A stroll through the town's tree-lined streets reveals a virtual cornucopia of American architectural styles ranging from 18th-century vernacular houses to dignified Federal townhouses to magnificent Victorian mansions. Many of these homes have been lovingly restored by an ever-increasing influx of new residents who have been attracted by the town's beauty and gentle pace of life.  As
a result, New Bern today
serves as a reminder of
the way life was in
America, and of the way
it still can be.
Residents like to say
that although New Bern
retains its small town
charm, it has big town
spirit. The town boasts
a number of interesting
museums and small art
galleries. Virtually
every month of the year
is marked by a special
festival or event,
making New Bern an
excellent year-round
travel destination.New Bern is centrally located near the Carolina coast and is easily accessible by automobile. An airport is located just ten minutes from downtown. When planning a visit to New Bern, be sure to allow enough time to truly enjoy all that the town has to offer. |
