The Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina was formed on October 9, 1883, by action of the General Convention. It consists of the congregations of the Episcopal Church in the eastern portion of the state of North Carolina and forms part of Province 4 of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Major cities include Wilmington, Fayetteville, New Bern, and Greenville. Originally its headquarters were located in Wilmington, but in 1983 a new diocesan house was built in Kinston, North Carolina, in order to be located more centrally in the diocese's territory.
