Looking into Kitty Hawk Vacation Homes
The history of the barrier islands goes back thousands of years as they have seen Native American settlement, European settlement, wars, natural disaster, the first human flight, and many other achievements and failures. During the Revolutionary War in particular, the residents of the Outer Banks maintained a prominent role in the fight for independence.

Because British ships were too big to navigate the narrow and shallow inlets around the islands, they took to boarding small local ships and ordering them up rivers into the mainland. This quickly became a problem as British soldiers were regularly pilfering supplies intended for colonial soldiers. Thus, in 1779, the first military company was formed to protect the islands from the British navy, and they did so successfully until the war was over four years later.
