Treyburn…means “three rivers” in Scottish…and…indeed…the
Community got its name from its location just north of where the Eno, Little, and
Flat Rivers merge to form the Neuse. It is located in an area with a rich history.
For generations…the three Rivers have been essential to development in the
region since they provide valuable resources necessary to support and sustain life..
All of Treyburn…including the Residential Community, Country Club, and Corporate
Park…was once part of Stagville Plantation. Stagville…which was owned
by the Cameron and Bennehan Families from the 1700’s until the mid 1900’s…was
one of the largest plantations in pre-Civil War NC and in the entire South. It was
also at the center of a thriving mercantile and milling community…and was
a major stop along the Old Indian Trading Path.
This time-worn Path which stretched from Petersburg, Virginia to the Cherokee lands
in Georgia…was a major inland trade route for the Indians during pre-colonial
days and later became the major route for settlers, traders, hunters, and explores
in the Piedmont. The path runs directly through Treyburn…and is a reminder
of the rich history inside the boundaries of our Community.
