The town is nestled between Halifax and Warren Counties, about midway between I-85 and I-95, just below the Virginia border. The town was named for William Little who was a state senator when the town was founded, and he was also the first Postmaster of Littleton. The original post office was “Person’s Ordinary” and is still standing in its original location on Warren St. Learn more about the history of Littleton at TownofLittleton-NC.us.
