Currituck County, Administrative county in northeastern North Carolina, United States.
Currituck County is an administrative area in northeastern North Carolina that combines coastal regions, wetlands, and rural landscapes stretching along the Atlantic Ocean. The region blends salt marshes, forests, and lakes with farming areas marked by small communities scattered throughout.
The area was established in 1672 as part of the Albemarle County and bears a name with Algonquian roots referring to wild geese that once thrived there. This early settlement shaped the connection to nature and farming that still defines the region today.
Local festivals throughout the year celebrate maritime traditions, agricultural heritage, and outdoor activities that connect residents with their natural surroundings.
Main services cluster in the county seat and Moyock, the larger settlement, where visitors can find accommodations and dining options. A personal vehicle is essential for exploring the natural areas, as attractions spread across considerable distances throughout the region.
The territory includes two national wildlife refuges where visitors can observe diverse bird species and explore protected natural environments.
