History
Hatteras was named after the Hatteras Indians. Hatteras Village was cut off from the rest of the island on September 18, 2003, when Hurricane Isabel washed a and channel called Isabel Inlet at the north end of Hatteras village. The tear was subsequently repaired and restored by sand dredged by the Army Corps of Engineers. The Ellsworth and Lovie Ballance House and Hatteras Weather Bureau Station are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
