A lumber-shipping town in the early twentieth century that later handled home-heating-oil tankers, Hertford today is a very shallow river port on the Perquimans River in northeastern North Carolina. Low channel depths now limit it to recreational craft and a small marine industrial park rather than container or deep-sea cargo. For ocean-going and customs-cleared freight, the region relies on the Port of Virginia (Norfolk), with Morehead City and Wilmington as North Carolina alternatives.
