Abstract:

Prior to the 20th Century, Diamond City was a series of communities along Shackleford Banks. The inhabitants were eventually forced by storms that leeched saltwater into wells to move inland. Today, Diamond City Homecoming, celebrated every five years, recalls the heritage of those former communities.
