Population: 95 Located in Carteret County
Salter Path was, and is, a banks fishing village. Of course, development as a resort area has been encroaching on the old village for many years, but the salty ways are still much in evidence --particularly along the sound side. Nearby Emerald Isle was once envisioned as a resort comparable to Atlantic City, NJ. Efforts by the wealthy industrialist Henry K. Fort to have a bridge constructed on the western end of Bogue Banks failed, and his grand plans became another Depression casualty. During the 1950s a state-owned ferry began operation which led to this area becoming more developed.
