History

The Great Depression and World War II markedly altered the character of the town. The war disrupted commerce, and the economy of the port declined along with the town’s population. Morehead City celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding on May 5, 2007. The popularity of this particular hotel, with its train depot entrance, grand ballroom, piers, sailing and ferries to the beaches of Bogue Banks, helped to establish Morehead City as a summer destination. The town continued to prosper until the American Civil War, when in 1862 it was occupied by Federal troops.
