Abstract:
Settled in 1663 and designated as a precinct in 1670, the rural and agricultural Currituck, located in the northeastern most section of North Carolina, is one of the state's oldest counties. Encompassing 273 square miles and located on a peninsula formed by the North River and Albemarle Sound, residents of Currituck have enjoyed an extensive maritime history. The site of one of the state's first conflicts, Gibb's Rebellion, Currituck has since remained a relatively peaceful area sustained through fishing, hunting, agriculture, and dog racing.
