Our History

Selma was officially chartered as a Town on February 11, 1873, but the Town’s true birth took place on May 1, 1867, when there was a public sale of lots around a newly established station on the North Carolina Railroad.  Selma was born as a “Railroad Town,” and our rail heritage is still evident today, with our recently renovated 1924 Union Depot (Selma Union Depot) supporting Amtrak service.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this change.

If you do not currently have an email address and / or phone number on file with us, please contact our office to update your information.  Town of Selma utility Bills can be emailed as soon as they are processed.  Having your email address on file with the Town of Selma ensures quicker delivery of your bill. Should you have any questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help. Thank you for your patience through our service transition.
