Dobbs County, North Carolina

Dobbs County is a former county located in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It was formed in 1758 from Johnston County, North Carolina, 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 to 1765. In 1779 the western part of Dobbs County became Wayne County, North Carolina, and the county seat was moved from its original location on Walnut Creek to the town of Kingston, which was renamed Kinston, North Carolina in 1784. In 1791 Dobbs County was divided into Greene County, North Carolina and Lenoir County, North Carolina, and ceased to exist. ==See also== * List of extinct U.S. counties *List of North Carolina counties North Carolina history Greene County, North Carolina Lenoir County, North Carolina Wayne County, North Carolina
