Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Frisco, NC

Frisco is a small unincorporated community and census-designated place on Hatteras Island in Dare County, sitting between the villages of Buxton and Hatteras along North Carolina Highway 12.

Frisco was previously known as Trent, or Trent Woods, and received its current name — borrowed from San Francisco, California — when the post office arrived in 1898.

Frisco had a population of 994 people at the 2020 census, but most of its homes are summer vacation rentals, so the community's population swells and shrinks with the tourist season.

The community is home to Billy Mitchell Airport, a small airfield named for Army General Billy Mitchell, the famous advocate of air power.

Directly across from the airport stands the Frisco Native American Museum, which displays collections of artifacts from the Croatan and other Native tribes of the Outer Banks.

Much of Frisco lies within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, America's first national seashore, with trails winding through acres of protected maritime forest.

Frisco's old fishing pier was destroyed by Hurricane Earl in 2010 and was never rebuilt.

Frisco has a humid subtropical climate with about 62 inches of rain a year, and it sits in the path of Atlantic hurricanes, which peak in the area from late August through September.

Children in Frisco are zoned to Cape Hatteras Elementary School and Cape Hatteras Secondary School, the Dare County schools serving the southern end of Hatteras Island.

Frisco is governed by the Dare County Board of Commissioners as part of District 4, together with Avon, Buxton, Hatteras, Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo.
