Sans Souci is a French term meaning “without worry” or “free of care”, a state of being carefree. Today, Sans Souci is located within the Township of Merry Hill in Bertie County. Merry Hill was first called Pine Tree Store. According to a history of the area written by students at Merry Hill High School, the Webb family home stood on rise, and the Webbs were known for their frequent parties, picnics and social gatherings. Which led to the change in name from Pine Tree Store community to Merry Hill. San Souci, a community on the Cashie River, was named by Thomas Vail of Plymouth, who kept a store there. Later, another Plymouth merchant, Kenneth Sallenger, also kept a store at Sans Souci. Sans Souci was a fashionable phrase in the 19th and 19th century, and it was chosen by a storekeeper because it was a stylish, pleasant-sounding name for a riverside landing.
