Stories of Old Currituck Outer Banks
The Outer Banks of Currituck County are home to large mansions and see thousands of tourists each year. The islands weren't always populated, however. Much of the land was purchased to raise cattle before larger homes were constructed. In 1857, the Currituck Shooting Club became one of many early hunting clubs that dotted the islands. The area endured complex political battles in the 1970s over the construction of roads and residential development that would eventually exchange the hunting clubs for housing communities. Follow lifetime Currituck native and prolific author Travis Morris as he retells the history of development through newspaper articles and personal anecdotes and offers an insider's glimpse into the movers and shakers who made the islands the popular getaway they are today.
