Dare County

Dare County is the easternmost county in the U.S. state of North Carolina. As of the 2010 Census, the population was 33,920. Its county seat is Manteo. The county is named after Virginia Dare, the first child born in the Americas to English parents, who was born in what is now Dare County.
Historically a Democratic stronghold, Dare County has shifted to Republican in recent decades, with Republican candidates winning since the 1980 election. Despite this, the Republican margins of victory are narrower compared to other predominantly white Southern counties. Dare County has not supported a Democratic presidential nominee since Jimmy Carter in 1976, marking a significant change from its previous "Solid South" Democratic voting pattern between 1900 and 1952.
