Ben Royal was the doctor responsible for Morehead City’s first hospital. A local resident, Royal attended the University of North Carolina and returned to Morehead City in 1910, where he established the 8-bed hospital two years later. Dr. Royal and his assistant, Edith Broadway, were the only two hospital staff for the first decade of its service. In 1918, Royal again opened a larger 28-bed hospital in Morehead City to meet growing demands. As the hospital served residents located throughout the Outer Banks, the larger hospital had an associated pier to assist in transport. During the Second World War, over 300 victims were treated by Royal and his staff.

Chartered in 1858, Morehead City was founded on Sheppards Point. One of the first industries, the railroad, was established to link Morehead City to settlements along the Mississippi River. While this venture ultimately failed, a number of small houses and businesses were erected over the following decades. During the Civil War, many structures were used by Union soldiers who made additional improvements to infrastructure. Post-war, various civil works were erected to modernize the City.
