History BodieIsland was originally known as Bodies Island or Body s Island since the area was originally settled by the Body family. Folklore, however, attributes the naming of the island to the dead bodies of the ships that ran aground and sunk off the Outer ... along the Outer Banks , making landform naming inconsistent. BodieIsland, when it was an island, extended more south than it does today. The island was originally formed around 1738, when New Inlet opened, separating BodieIsland from Hatteras Island to the south. The opening of Oregon Inlet in 1846 truncated the southern portion of BodieIsland, forming a new island situated between Bodie and Hatteras. The new barrier island was given the name Pea Island , but the wider, more powerful Oregon Inlet led to the eventual closure of New Inlet around 1933. Pea Island had thus become a part of Hatteras Island. Near the North Carolina Virginia state line, the Currituck Inlet once existed, which made the Currituck Banks an island of its own.

The first light was erected in 1853 and consisted of a stone tower with a keeper s dwelling adjacent to it. It was ostensibly equipped with a first order fresnel lens , though a report in 1870 stated that it had been assigned a fourth order lens instead. Erosion of the island eventually endangered the first light, and in 1896 a steel skeletal tower was erected to replace it. The island continued to shift and in 1948 this second lighthouse was demolished, as the waves threatened to bring it down. The first order lens was first displayed at the Newport News Mariners Museum in 2004 it was moved to an enclosed pavilion on the Portsmouth, Virginia waterfront.
