Description: Weldon, NORTH CAROLINA - New Yorker Motel & Restaurant - ROADSIDE ADVERTISING - MAP: Weldon is a town in Halifax County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 1,655 at the 2010 census. In 1752, Daniel Weldon purchased 1,273 acres of land on the Roanoke River. His plantation became known as Weldon's Landing. As it was just below the fall line, Weldon's Landing was the westernmost point of navigation along the Roanoke. The Roanoke Canal was built in 1823 to bypass the rapids and open up trade to Virginia. The aqueduct across Chockoyotte creek was built near Weldon's Landing, bringing an economic boom to the area. The canal is now dry, and is a hiking trail open to the public. Weldon was the first railroad hub in the American South. The Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad terminated in Weldon. In 1841, the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad was completed, also terminating in Weldon. At the time, it was the longest railroad in the world. This led to the incorporation of the town in 1843. This Photochromatic postcard features the New Yorker Motel & Restaurant and a Road Map to get to it. The card is in good condition. Dexter Press. No. 5124-C. John A Herper. Rocky Munt.
