New Bern was founded in 1710 by the First Baron of Bernberg, and named after Bern, Switzerland. It is the second oldest colonial town in North Carolina and has four historic districts listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. It was listed as one of the best places to retire in the United States in 2005 on the Today Show.
The town was recently hit by Hurricane Florence and had six feet of storm surge, flooding the town. Sometimes, these kinds of devastating events can cause post traumatic stress syndrome or depression. If you or someone you know may have trouble with these or any other mental conditions, there are many caring therapists in New Bern who are ready to help right now.
