A little about the area... Grifton, once known as "Bell's Ferry", "Coward's Bridge" and“Skinhead", is situated south of Greenville on both sides of Contentnea Creek (known locally as Moccasin River) a few miles above where it empties into the Neuse River. It was once known as the most divided town in North Carolina, being in three townships, Contentnea and Swift Creek in Pitt and Contentnea Neck in Lenoir County. It was in two senatorial districts, two judicial districts, and two congressional districts. It even had three township constables exercising authority over their respective parts of town.

Hunters have taken more than a dozen 700-pound black bears in North Carolina, and the Coastal Plains rising population of seriously large black bears has turned into an economic windfall. During the November and December bear hunting seasons, hotels are booked, and hunting camps are full of dog packs and handlers hauled in from as far away as Canada. In 1998, Dolly Parton's cousin Coy Parton trucked his bear dogs from Tennessee to Craven County and shot an 880-pound bear near Vanceboro. It shattered the previous North Carolina record by 160 pounds, and still stands as the heaviest known black bear ever taken in North America.
