Avon is a census-designated place(CDP) in Dare County in the State of North Carolina in the United States of America. The village is south of Salvo and north of Buxton on Hatteras Island. Historically named Kinnakeet, the village was renamed Avon by the U.S. Postal Service when a post office was established there in 1883. The U.S. Life-Saving Service constructed the Little Kinnakeet Life Saving Station in 1874, remaining active, under the Coast Guard from 1915, until decommissioned in 1954. The building is now part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. <a href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avon,_North_Carolina " rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avon,_North_Carolina</a> <a href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License " rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...</a>
