According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.416 square miles (6.26 km), 1.302 is water, along the northern Outer Banks. Originally part of Currituck County to the north, the stretch of the Outer Banks which includes Duck was transferred to Dare County in the early 20th century.

The region was named for the many ducks and waterfowl in the area.. During the peak vacation season the population increases to over 20,000. The area nearby was sparsely populated until the 1970s (during the 1950s, nearby land was used as a bombing range by naval aircraft). The growing community remained unincorporated until 2002, when North Carolina General Assembly House Bill 882 was passed, incorporating the town. Duck is now home to about 500 permanent residents and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Duck Field Research.

This is just one of the resorts.
