Church of England, Bertie County and later Northampton County, was est. in 1727 by the division of Society Parish in the NW part of the county.

The following year, the remaining part of Northwest Parish became a part of Hertford County and St. Barnabas’ Parish. Northwest Parish, therefore, ceased to exist.
