There’s a first time for every thing and the Outer Banks has certainly had its share of notable firsts over the years. We came across this blog written by Kip Tabb for Carolina Designs that calls out some of the local firsts that may not be well known.

“Over the years—the many years— that Outer Banks has been a place of numerous firsts. We thought it would be fun to write about some of them.

We’re not going to write about the obvious ones. The Wright Brothers and their Wright Flyer; or the Lost Colony which was the first attempt by England to colonize the New World. Instead, we’re going to pick out a few Outer Banks firsts that may not be as well known and write about them.”
