Welcome to the Parmele, North Carolina!
We welcome you to the Town of Parmele, located in western Martin County, North Carolina. Established in 1893, our motto is "The Small Town That Makes a Difference!" Home of the famous country music group "Parmalee", our quaint little town with a population of around 300 is a hidden gem with a rich history.
"This is our town and our history . We are very passionate about our community and our rich heritage. We cherish the wonderful opportunities the town has afforded us in which to live, raise our families, worship and enjoy retirement. We are thankful for the wisdom, courage, fortitude and resilience our elected and community leaders have provided to us. Most importantly, we are thankful for the blessings bestowed upon each generation to thrive and succeed. We celebrate and embrace--with great enthusiasm--our future."
