The Main Street Commercial District is a pleasant area to walk or shop. During much of the 19th-century, this was a bustling center that was made up of two distinct districts. One was the center of shipping, wholesaling and manufacturing located near the harbor at Main and Water Streets, while the other was in the area of Main and Road Streets where retail and banking activities thrived.

Shop in quaint boutiques and experience the wonderfully unique character of the city’s restaurants. Download the Elizabeth City Main Street Commercial District Tour brochure.
