Welcome to Chocowinity NC serving the
Waterfront Real Estate Developments of
Cypess Landing, Bay Harbour
Blounts Creek, River Hills and Pamlico Bluffs
On the south side of the Pamlico River in Beaufort County is a fast growing community rich
in history, agriculture and industry and even has a bay named in it's honor. Apparently of
Indian origin the name Chocowinity is interpreted to mean "Fish from many Waters". Chad,
perch, red breast, black fish, pickerel, jack, rock, bass, trout and sturgeon have all been caught
in these waters. It is apparent that the name Chocowinity is the spawning and feeding grounds
of "Fish from many Waters".
According to historians, Chocowinity was once populated by Tuscaroran Indians. The town was once also known as Godley's Crossroads, but officially changed it's name to Chocowinity before the Revolutionary War.
Today, Chocowinity is a progressive community striving to keep pace with a new breed of settlers seeking the good life afforded by the scenic beauty of the area. Like most of Beaufort County, an influx of retirees and vacation home investors have altered the demographic makeup of the town. With growth and new residents have come new businesses and expanded city services.
Cypress Landing, is a well established community on Chocowinity Bay with over 700 homesites, developed by Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Development Company. Amenities include a championship golf course, marina, fitnesscenter, tennis courts and community center. Other waterfront developments include Bay Hills, River Hills and Bay Harbor.
The most well known industry in Chocowinity is Fountain Power Boats,
founded by offshore racing giant Reggie Fountain. Since 1979 the business has grown quickly.
What began as a 10,000 square foot manufacturing facility with eight employees, has swelled
to 250,000 square feet and more than 400 employees.
Both established and new waterfront subdivisions are a feature in every town in Beaufort County. Manufactures have chosen to locate here because of the lack of bumper-to-bumper traffic, reasonable tax rates and solid business climate. The workforce is engaged in diesel fuel pumps, acrylic yarn, powerboats, phosphoric acid and precision-machine parts. The diversity not only strengthens the economy but provides ample evidence of the capabilities of the local people. Beaufort County - a solid business environment in a delightful coastal setting.
