Excerpt from Hill Directory Co; 'S (Incorporated) New Bern, N. C. City Directory 1920-21, Vol. 7: Embracing an Alphabetical List of Business Houses and Private Citizens; A Directory of the City, Country, State and National Government, Fire Alarm Boxes, Churches, Public and Private Schools, Secret and Benevolent Institutions, Banks and a Street and Ave New Bern was founded by the Swiss settlers in 1710 and for over two centuries it has enjoyed steady growth and increasing prosperity and happiness, which naturally blesses a community. Ideally located, made up of energetic, inventive and thrifty people, it is now rapidly growing in greatness; commercially, financially and in point of quickened civic spirit. New Bern was named after Berne Switzerland, which means "Bear" in the Swiss language. The entire South is throbbing with a new and might energy and great development of her unbounded resources and opportunities. The commercial awakening of the South is very significant. It is claimed to be increasing at a rate conservatively estimated over $7, 000, 000 a day. New Bern is splendidly playing its part in this theatre of progress and prosperity. New Bern is located at the junction of two beautiful, deep rivers - Neuse and Trent - near the entrance of Pamlico Sound and 35 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. It is in the center of the great cotton, lumber and agricultural belt of the South Atlantic Seaboard. It is 87 miles northeast from Wilmington, 197 miles southeast of Raleigh, 171 miles South from Norfolk and 377 miles south of Baltimore.
