Seventeenth century

Historians generally contend that the Coharie are descendants from members of three language groups: the Algonquian-speaking Neusiok and Coree (although the Neusiok and Coree might be Iroquoian) and the Iroquoian Tuscarora, and the Siouan Waccamaw, who occupied what is now the central portion of North Carolina. In the early seventeenth century, the Coree lived along the Big Coharie and the Little Coharie Rivers in present-day Sampson County.^{[citation needed]}

Eighteenth century

Between 1730 and 1745, intertribal conflicts as well as competition over land and resources between Native peoples and English colonials resulted in numerous wars. The trade in deerskins and Indians found some tribes capturing members of traditional enemy tribes to sell as slaves to the colonists. In addition, Eurasian infectious diseases, such as measles and smallpox, to which the Natives had no natural immunity, decimated many communities. The epidemics of new diseases disrupted their societies. These had been endemic among the Europeans, who had acquired some immunity.

Nineteenth century

Throughout the 1800s, the Coharie Indians built their community in Sampson County. Considered free persons of color, the Coharie held the right under state law to own and use firearms, and vote in local elections. But, following Nat Turner's slave rebellion of 1831, the state passed legislation in 1835 reducing the rights of non-White people. The Coharie were among those that lost the right to vote and bear arms. Following the Civil War, the state constitutional convention of 1868 during Reconstruction removed this ban.^[1]

In 1859, the Coharie Indians established their own subscription school. In 1910, the Coharie Indians established an Indian school in Dismal Township as they wanted to maintain their culture. In 1911, the Coharie Indians established New Bethel Indian School. In 1943, the state of North Carolina established and built East Carolina Indian School, the first primary through high school Indian school, in Herring Township in Sampson County.
