About Rich Square

Rich Square is a quiet farming town in Northampton County, set among the open fields and pine woods of eastern North Carolina. Its roots go back to a Quaker meeting established in 1760, and over generations it grew into a friendly rural community along US 258. Today, residential streets branch off Main Street, connecting neighborhood churches, historic houses, and the W.S. Creecy school site, which honors an influential local educator from the town's past.
