The first capital of North Carolina, Edenton, was moved to New Bern in 1789 primarily due to Edenton's geographic disadvantage and limited accessibility. New Bern was more centrally located, making it more accessible for delegates and citizens from various parts of the state. Additionally, New Bern had better infrastructure and resources to support the functions of government, which contributed to its selection as the new capital.
