Question: Which Outer Banks town was founded first?
Answer: Among the Outer Banks’ towns, Ocracoke has the earliest specific founding year (1715). Kitty Hawk dates to the early 18th century and Rodanthe to the mid-to-late 1700s, while the rest (Hatteras, Avon, Buxton, Manteo, Kill Devil Hills) were established much later in the 19th or 20th centuries.
