About Kitty Hawk NC
The Kitty Hawk NC wiki has this to say about the area:
“Kitty Hawk is a town in Dare County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 2,991 at the 2000 census. It was established in the early 18th century as Chickahawk.
Kitty Hawk became famous after the Wright brothers of Dayton, Ohio selected a nearby site upon which to make their first controlled powered airplane flights on December 17, 1903. The site, four miles to the south near the sand dunes known as the Kill Devil Hills, was an ideal location because of the consistent, reliable winds and the privacy that the area provided. Kitty Hawk is often mistakenly credited as being the site of the first controlled powered flights though they actually took place in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. This is because the Kill Devil Hills had no telegraph office, so they had to go to Kitty Hawk in order to send the telegram of their success to their family in Dayton.”
The town web site says this:
“Located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the Town of Kitty Hawk offers year-round residents and visitors alike a unique and relaxing environment. The Town consists of a thriving Village that has been around for generations, a newer beach community of residential cottages, and a maritime forest called Kitty Hawk Woods. The Woods feature a wide variety of plant and animal life.
The beach and village consist of low to medium density, single-family residential developments served by small businesses. Both the beach and the village share a feeling that development remains on a human scale and in harmony with nature. It is a pattern and character of development that the Town’s people, both year-round and seasonal, are quite comfortable with and want to retain.”
