Mariner Realty is proud to be a family owned and operated, full service real estate Company, with a 30 year tradition. Located in the heart of Oriental, NC, our team of experienced brokers know Pamlico County and would love to introduce you to our wonderful piece of the world. North Carolina is home to a village called Oriental, known by sailors as the halfway point between New York and Florida when traveling along the Intracoastal Waterway.
Oriental is home to regattas, sailing clubs, fishing, and more events than seem possible in a small town. With just 875 residents and over 2,700 boats, it's obvious how Oriental earned its title of "The Sailing Capital of North Carolina." Homes here are set amid The Pamlico Sound, The Neuse and Bay Rivers along with their many deep water creeks and pristine tributaries.
These flowing bodies of water wind along our forest, farm fields and villages creating miles of shoreline and breath-taking views. With the ICW (Intercostal Waterway) running along our eastern shoreline, sail boats and yachts cruising to get to one destination to another is a common sight.

Pamlico County was named for Pamlico Sound, which in turn was named for an Indian tribe that once inhabited the northern fringes of the county.
Perhaps four to five hundred Indians occupied the area during the time of exploration and early settlement.
Belonging mainly to the Algonquians, the tribes were the Pamlico, Neuse, Bay River, Coree and possibly the Secotan, Pamouick, Tuscarora and Woccon.
Until the smallpox hit them around 1686, the Pamlico were the most numerous.
The Pamlico Sound provided an entry point for the English explorers who "discovered" the area in the late 1500s - some have theorized that the ships of Sir Walter Raleigh's first expedition may have touched the shores of Pamlico County in 1584 or 1585.

Oriental was settled in the 1870s by Louis B. Midyette.
Legend has it that "Uncle Lou" was sailing from New Bern to his home in Dare County and anchored his sailboat in the protected waters of Oriental to escape a gale.
Storytellers claim that Lou went ashore the next morning, climbed a tree and was captured by the beautiful landscape and waterfront created by the many creeks.
He returned home to persuade others to join his family in moving to the area.
The United States Post Office Department established a post office here back in 1886.
