The Outer Banks of North Carolina
About the OBX
The Outer
Banks, North Carolina is a thin strip of land on the Atlantic Ocean near the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The Outer Banks were the first North
American land reached by English explorers.
The Outer Banks has a
council-manager form of government. It is governed by an elected Mayor and
eight-member City Council, who meet on a weekly basis. Day-to-day operations
are overseen by the appointed City Manager.
