Nags Head is located in Dare County on the Outer Banks. It is known for the large sand dunes that are within the town. Although the population grows by the thousands in the summer months it is home to about 3000 people year round. One theory as to how the town got it’s name is in pirate days they would hang oil lanterns around the necks of mules and walk them along the high sand dudes and it would resemble ships in safe harbor and the ships at sea would be lured in and would become grounded or wrecked on the beach and they could seize the cargo aboard the ship. The mule that was used was referred to as “the old nag”. Another theory on it’s name is that the early English who arrived here named it after Nag’s Head Island which is located in England. Most people like the pirate story best. Although the second theory is the most likely.
