Snow Hill is a town in Greene County, North Carolina, United States.
Many junior players and adults travel to Snow Hill in order to play in the USTA (United States Tennis Association) Sanctioned tournaments.
In its early history, Snow Hill was near the location of the final major battle of the Tuscarora War at Fort Neoheroka in 1713.
Another theory was described by McLoud in the Goldsboro newspaper as being "loblolly pine is in water," and the most recent translation from the Tuscarora language offered was "as fish go by."
The town almost became the capital of North Carolina[citation needed] and was originally a major trading depot on Contentnea Creek.
[7] It is believed Snow Hill is the smallest town in the United States to ever field a professional baseball team.
Future New York Yankees Aaron Robinson and Al Gettel began their careers with the Billies, as did Walter Rabb, who would serve as head baseball coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for nearly thirty years.
The Greene County Courthouse, Neoheroka Fort Site, Snow Hill Colored High School, Snow Hill Historic District, and St. Barnabas Episcopal Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Snow Hill has a total area of 1.5 square miles (4.0 km2), all land.
