A Quick History of Duck NCLike the other Currituck County beaches of Corolla and Carova, Duck was initially undiscovered until the late 1600s, when a small community of local settlers believed to be shipwreck descendants, made this their home. For centuries, Duck had remained isolated with only a small population of residents and a few adventurous vacationers curious about waterfowl hunting, fishing, and more. Then, in the 1990s, Duck and its 7 miles of beautiful beaches were transferred over to Dare County and new development.

As the paved NC Highway 12 was being forged on the Northern Outer Banks, developer attention grew in the Currituck and Dare County beaches, leading to county and local governments taking steps to ensure the small and charming character of the various towns wouldn’t be lost with all the development. In 1984, Duck was established as a North Carolina Beautification District by the North Carolina General Assembly.
