Frisco North
Carolina
Looking for a home in
the friendly Outer Banks town of Frisco NC.
Frisco
is a small unincorporated community on the barrier
island of
Hatteras Island, between the villages of
Buxton and Hatteras. It is located in Dare County, North
Carolina. Most of the land is taken by houses available
for rental during the summer months, and as such the
community's population varies seasonally. North Carolina
Highway 12 serves as the primary road in Frisco and
connects the community to others on the island.

Before the arrival of the
post office, this village was named Trent, or Trent
Woods. The point is often made that the
Hatteras Island village names were changed
because they were difficult to pronounce or spell, but
this was certainly not the case here.
As the postal system expanded to incorporate remote
regions --and Hatteras Island was truly remote, it was
often found that communities had used the same, or very
similar, names. To prevent confusion, a new name would
be chosen. This was probably the case involving Frisco
at the time, though the Postal Service does not
currently list another Trent in North Carolina.
General Billy Mitchell is honored with an airfield named
for him at Frisco. This famed Army Air Service officer
used the local airstrip to demonstrate his talents by
bombing battleships off the coast on September 5, 1923.
This exhibition was one of the major factors leading to
the establishment of the modern United States Air Force

Frisco Pier
Billy Mitchell Airport
Cape Hatteras (Buxton) Lighthouse
Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum (Hatteras)
Tiny Frisco houses dot part of the
shady and serene Buxton Woods, where nature walks are a
must. It is also home to the nationally recognized
Frisco Native American Museum, run by Carl and Joyce
Bornfriend. The tranquil museum is filled with authentic
Indian artifacts and educational displays. Be sure to
tap the drum for good luck when you leave. The site of
an ancient Indian village has been found near the museum
and is being excavated. Frisco is heavily wooded on the
sound side, and the homes are tucked back into the trees
so you can't really tell how many houses are there.
There are no hotels or motels, but there are many ocean
and sound side cottages for rent. Frisco is home to one
of the National Park Service campgrounds, a great place
for secluded camping among the sand hills. Two other
campgrounds in Frisco are very popular for their
isolated camping among the trees. Fishing is great at
the Cape Hatteras Pier, locally called the Frisco Pier.
There's an airfield at Frisco, where air tours are
popular. Some great art galleries are there, too. The
quietude of Frisco makes a vacation feel intimate and
special, and visitors who come here once often return
again and again
