Abstract:
Beaufort’s early history is fairly tumultuous. Early engagements with the Tuscarora left the small community scarred. Further encounters with pirates in 1731 and Spanish raiders in 1741 delayed, but did not stop, settlement. By the early 1830s, a local courthouse and fort had been erected while Fort Macon was under construction. Today, Beaufort’s eastern part faces the inlet; nearby are the Cape Lookout lighthouse and associated Coast Guard Station. The oldest areas of town include an 18th century cemetery and house which dates to 1723.

Abstract:
This article contains excerpts from a letter written in 1810 describing the town of Beaufort. Beaufort, a town in Carteret County, lies within sight of Topsail Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. Fort Hampton, located on the southern side of the inlet, forms a familiar landmark for the 580 inhabitants. The primary industries are shipbuilding and fishing; whaling and porpoise fishing are the most lucrative commercial ventures, however, the mullet fishermen consistently yield good returns. While a maritime community, there are various other agricultural products produced by citizens including beef and sheep.

Abstract:
Carteret County’s first golf course opened in Beaufort in June 1937. Part of a Works Progress Administration project, the course was constructed to boost tourism. A club house accompanied the 9-hole course and was used for socializing. Membership fees were set at $18/year. In 1941, a lookout tower was constructed on the course to serve as an observation post. Additional rail tracks were placed on the course to assist with chemical transport associated with the war effort. The author attributes World War II to the decline and eventual closure of the course.
