== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Currituck County is strongly Republican in most elections.
* The Board of Commissioners banned further solar farms in February 2017.
* Church's Island to the east of Coinjock in the Currituck Sound has a village called Waterlily, which uses the postal address of Coinjock as well. The island's name is due to a decayed church that was once a landmark of the tiny community.
* The name Coinjock is of Native American origin, meaning "the place of the blueberry swamps", referring to the swamp blueberries native to the county. The name has also been spelled "Coenjock", "Cowenjock", or "Cornjack", and sometimes as two words with the second beginning with a capital J. Bishop Thomas Coke visited Coenjock, as he called it, and preached to a small congregation in its chapel on March 19, 1785.
* A few old railfanning videos recently posted on YouTube have a little bit of footage from Shawboro.
* Corolla is home to about 119 feral Banker horses. They are located on a 12,000-acre (49 km²) animal sanctuary situated north of the populated areas of Corolla. Over fifty thousand people come to see these wild horses every week in the summer months.
* Previously a quiet and little-known location, a development boom in the 1980s sparked growth in the area, and since then, Corolla has become a popular vacation destination. Resting between the Currituck Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, Corolla attracts mainly beach-goers, especially in the summer months. Corolla is home to numerous attractions such as the historic Whalehead Club, Currituck Beach Lighthouse, Center for Wildlife Education, and is known for its numerous locations for shopping, dining, and participating in water sports.
* Just north of Corolla is the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge.
* There is a winery on Knotts Island.
