The paper gets its name from the location of its primary region of distribution between the Roanoke River and Chowan River in Northeastern North Carolina, a location that includes Bertie, Hertford, and Northampton counties.

The inclusion of Gates County is the result of a merger with the Gates County Index.

Media General sold the paper to Boone Newspapers Inc. of Tuscaloosa, Ala in 2000. [5]
