Currituck County, North Carolina

Established in 1668, Currituck County was one of the first areas settled in the U.S. An original North Carolina county, Currituck County was one of the five original ports. [History of Currituck County, www.co.currituck.nc.us, accessed December, 2013]

The construction of the present day courthouse is said to date from 1776, but no records exist for construction of a courthouse from 1869 until the enlargement in 1897, so it evidently dates from before 1869. It was then half its present size. The courthouse was remodeled in 1952 and a rear addition connected the courthouse with the east end of the old jail.
