Duck

Duck is a town located between the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound in Dare County, North Carolina. The community sits on a strip of land with water access on both its eastern and western shores.

The area began as a small fishing settlement that developed over many years. It became an officially incorporated town in 2002 as part of the Outer Banks region.

The annual Duck Jazz Festival brings musicians and visitors together to celebrate local artists. The event shapes how people in town come together for music and entertainment.

The Town Administrative Office is open on weekdays and handles basic services for residents and visitors. It helps to familiarize yourself with the main roads before arriving to navigate the different areas easily.

The town has an unusual management structure where all staff members report directly to the Town Manager. This single person also handles the city's finances and budget decisions.
