Abstract:
Buffalo City, located in East Lake Township, Dare Co., NC, was a creation of the Buffalo Timber Company of New York after the Civil War. The Buffalo City post office opened in 1889 and the town boasted a hotel, company store, school, church, workers houses and other necessities. After the timber was exhausted, the Dare Lumber Company bought the property. By the mid 1920’s, Buffalo City became known as the Moonshine Capital of North Carolina and the United States. When Prohibition ended in 1933, the citizens of Buffalo City went back to logging. The sawmill closed in the early 1950’s and the town was abandoned.
