    Johnston County's Courthouse was completed in 1921 and is a three-story frame building in the…read moreClassical Revival style. It has a four column portico and a stone balustrade at the roofline. There is recessed entrance a large vertical windows on the second and third stories. The roof line is flat. In the interior, the main courtroom is located on the third story and has a balcony on the rear side. Johnston County was formed in 1746 and Clayton was selected as the county seat with the county's first courthouse. The seat was moved to Smithfield in 1771 and the new courthouse was built here. A third courthouse was built in 1786 and then a fourth in 1843. This one is the fifth and is considered "the old courthouse" as the current one was built in the 1980s. There is a Civil War marker on the front steps - General William T Sherman used the 1771 courthouse as his headquarters on his march toward Raleigh. On April 12th 1865 Sherman received a telegram from General Ulysses S Grant informing him of General Robert E Lee's surrender at Appomattox while in Smithfield. There is also a WWI memorial with a "doughboy" holding his rifle "In memory of the illustrious dead of Johnston County who died in the Great World War 1917-1919" with a list of names.

    Northampton County was established in 1741 from part of Bertie County, it was named in honor of…read moreJames Compton, the 5th Earl of Northampton. The county seat, originally called Northampton Courthouse, was renamed Jackson in 1823 to honor Andrew Jackson, then a national hero and soon-to-be president. Before European settlement, the region was home to the Tuscarora and Meherrin tribes. As settlers arrived--primarily English, Scotch-Irish, Scottish, and French Huguenots--many Native Americans were displaced. The Roanoke River, which winds through the county, served as a vital trade route and attracted immigrants with its fertile soil. The historic courthouse was completed in 1858 and is a classic example of the Green Revival design. Its temple-form design faces south and features a commanding prostyle tetrastyle portico supported by fluted Ionic columns. These columns, resting on substantial pedestals that rise from the high foundation, lend the building a monumental presence. The current modern courthouse was completed between 2022 and 2024 and stands a short distance from the historic 1858 Greek Revival Courthouse. They share the address. It is a modern two-story building composed of red brick, glass, and concrete, with a flat roofline and clean, geometric lines. Inside, the courthouse houses both the County Superior Court and County District Court for the 6th Judicial District, which includes neighboring Bertie, Halifax, and Hertford counties.
