==History==
Hertford County is home of the Meherrin Indian Tribe, descendants of indigenous people who had inhabited the region for many centuries. After decades of encroachment by English colonists, the Tribe moved south from Virginia, where they settled in 1706 on a reservation abandoned by the Chowanoke. This six-square-mile reservation was at Parker's Ferry near the mouth of the Meherrin River. It was confirmed by a treaty of 1726.〔(Brenda Linton and Leslie S. Stewart, ''Economic Development Assessment for the Meherrin Tribe'', University of North Carolina, Jul 2003, accessed 26 Oct 2009 )〕 However, they were not able to keep the reservation lands.
The Tribe today has approximately 900 enrolled members, most living within 10–15 miles of the former reservation.〔 The tribe is recognized by the state and is seeking Federal recognition. The Meherrin have an annual Pow Wow at the end of October.
The county was formed by settlers in 1759 from parts of Bertie County, Chowan County, and Northampton County. It was named for Francis Seymour-Conway, 1st Earl of Hertford, later 1st Marquess of Hertford.
In 1779 the northeastern part of Hertford County was combined with parts of Chowan County and Perquimans County to form Gates County.
