The Town of Snow Hill is located in Greene County, North Carolina. Snow Hill was originally a major trading depot on Contentnea Creek. At the time, Contentnea Creek was a main Wilson to New Bern trading artery. Contentnea Creek connects with the Neuse River at Kinston. Snow Hill was near the location of the final major battle of the Tuscarora War at Fort Neoheroka in 1713. Snow Hill has left its mark on the field! From 1937-40, the Snow Hill Billies played in the Class D Coastal Plain League and won the league pennant in 1937. 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 30 years. The Greene County Courthouse, Neoheroka Fort Site, Snow Hill Colored High School, Snow Hill Historic District, and St. Bananas Episcopal Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
