Jackson, NC

Jackson is a town in northeastern North Carolina, and is the seat of Northampton County. The population is around 700.

Jackson was originally called "Northampton Court House" when the county was formed in 1741. The town was renamed Jackson in 1821, probably after President Andrew Jackson.

Looks like a nice town. Matt, how much are they asking for that house on Railroad Street?

It could use some TLC.
