History
Orville Wright arrived in Kitty Hawk in the fall of 1900 and would make history just four miles away in Kill Devils three years later when he completed the first air flight. Wright dispatched the telegraph announcing his breakthrough from Kitty Hawk. The name Kitty Hawk is to come from the Native American term “Chickeawk” or “Chickahawk,” meaning a time or place to hunt geese.
