Spot, North Carolina facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Spot is a small, quiet place located in Currituck County, North Carolina, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community," which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's managed by the county.

The Story Behind the Name

The community of Spot got its name in a very interesting way! A post office was opened there in 1928. People decided to call the area "Spot" because of the many spot fish found in the nearby waters. These fish are common in coastal areas and were likely a big part of life for the people living there.
