Zebulon Town

Zebulon Town Hall is located at 1003 North Arendell Avenue, Zebulon, NC 27597; phone: 919-269-7455.

Named for Zebulon B. Vance, a North Carolina governor during the Civil War, the town was incorporated in 1907. Capitalizing on a 1906 decision by the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound Railroad to build a rail line through the area's dense pine forest, Edgar Barbee and Falconer Arendell organized the Zebulon company and platted lots, blocks, and streets. Thomas J. Horton was elected the first mayor of the town. [1]
