Halifax County Courthouse - District#6A

Halifax County is a member of the regional Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments, and was named for George Montague-Dunk, 2nd Earl of Halifax. The courthouse is located in the town of Halifax, the county seat. It is known as "The Birthplace of Freedom" for being the location for the adoption of the Halifax Resolves, which were the first official action by a colony calling for Independence.

With a recorded population of fewer than four hundred residents, Halifax Town is primarily centered around the court house, where justice is, indeed, dispensed to the more than fifty thousand recorded residents, of whom well over fifty percent are "black".
