Snakebite Township is an inactive township in Bertie County, in the U.S. state of North Carolina.
When Bertie County was subdivided into townships in 1868, the township in its west central area was named SNAKEBITE after a crossroad of the same name situated near the center of the area which had probably been, as it was later, a polling place.
Snakebite Township, Bertie County, North Carolina: Snakebite Township was so-named when a state guardsman bit off the head of snake in order to win a bet.
