History
Dobbs County was formed in 1758 from Johnston County, though the legislative act that created it did not become effective until April 10, 1759. It was named for Arthur Dobbs, governor of North Carolina from 1754 until 1764. In 1779 the western part became Wayne County; the county seat was moved from its original location on Walnut Creek to the town of Kingston, which was renamed Kinston in 1784.[1] Dobbs went unrepresented in the 1788 Hillsboro Convention as the federalist delegation was elected without opposition as the anti-federalists abstented; they did so as in the previous election, federalists rioted after predicting Richard Caswell's loss, stealing the ballot box and assaulting the sheriff. Hertford County also experienced a federalist riot.[2] Because the name Dobbs reminded the population of the colonial past, in 1791 it was divided by the North Carolina legislature into Glasgow County (later renamed Greene County) and Lenoir County; it ceased to exist.[1]
