Riceborough

Near the old North Newport Bridge, a short distance east of here, the Court House Square for Liberty County was laid out by act of February 1, 1797. Riceborough was then the seat of justice for Liberty County, and a courthouse and public buildings were erected there on land given by Matthew McAllister, Esq. Thomas Stevens, Daniel Stewart, Joel Walker and Henry Wood were named commissioners. For many years, Riceborough was an important port for the shipping of rice and other agricultural products from this area.
