About:

In 1917, Alice Green Hoffman, a native of New York City with a residence in Paris, purchased substantial acreage on Bogue Banks from John Royall, who had named his property Isle of Pines. Mrs. Hoffman came here off and on until 1938 when she made Bogue Banks her permanent residence. She died in 1953. Alice Hoffman had no children. Her only niece married Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., eldest son of President Teddy Roosevelt. In 1939, Alice’s property was placed in a trust for Eleanor’s children. After Mrs. Hoffman’s death, members of this trust developed Pine Knoll Shores. The Town of Pine Knoll Shores, NC was founded in 1973. It is located on Bogue Banks off the coast of North Carolina. Pine Knoll Shores is a community of roughly 1,300 full time residents, though its population swells in the summer with beachgoers and other vacationers.
