Bath County is an extinct county formerly located in the British American colony of North Carolina. The county was established in 1696 and was abolished in 1739. The original three precincts of Bath County—Pamplicough, Wyckham and Archdale—were renamed in 1712 and became Beaufort, Hyde, and Craven counties when Bath County split in 1738.[3][4]
