About Speed

Speed is a quiet, close-knit community in Edgecombe County and one of the smallest incorporated towns in North Carolina. First established in the 1890s as a railroad depot for shipping timber and cotton, the town today is home to just a few dozen residents. Situated among eastern North Carolina farmland a short drive from Tarboro, Speed offers peaceful, slow-paced country living where neighbors truly know one another.
