Camp Seafarer on the banks of the Neuse River near Arapahoe.

Arapahoe was first known as "Cross Roads". The name was later changed to "Arapahoe" -- some say it was named after the Indians and others after a racehorse of the same name. The Corsa Indians lived at Core Point near the mouth of the Pamlico River and blazed the trail that became the first road to Wilkerson’s Point. This community was settled early in the 18^th century, not long after New Bern (which settled in 1710). Arapahoe’s post office was established in 1886. The town was incorporated in 1920.
