Excerpt from Thoroughfare Plan Study Technical Report for Oak Island, North Carolina<br/><br/>The Oak Island area has existed since the mid-18th century, beginning with the construction of Fort Caswell in 1820. Construction of a bridge over the Waterway in 1975 kept the island inhabitants in touch with civilization after the Intracoastal Waterway was constructed. Yaupon Beach dates back to 1952. Four hundred building lots adjoining Long Beach were purchased by the firm Barbee's Incorporated from the Middleton family and became incorporated in 1955. The Oak Island Golf and Country Club and the surrounding residential properties were annexed by Yaupon Beach in September 1973. In 1975, the residents of Long Beach and Yaupon Beach were discussing consolidation, working toward a merger referendum to be held in March, 1976. Yaupon Beach wanted to annex the land located between the NC Baptist Assembly and the Oak Island golf course. However, Caswell Beach originated (december 15, 1975) within this desired area due to a perceived need to keep their individuality.
