The wildest moonshine city you've never heard of #history #mystery #usa

Hidden deep in the Alligator River swamp of Dare County, North Carolina, lies Buffalo City. Once a booming logging hub of 3,000 people, Prohibition turned this isolated swamp town into the Moonshine Capital of the East Coast—producing moonshine so potent that moonshiners built secret railways through the cypress mud. Today, nature has completely swallowed it whole. Buffalo City was once the moonshine capital of the United States. At its peak, over 200 illegal stills pumped out 450,000 gallons of whiskey annually, turning this North Carolina ghost town into a bustling center of bootlegging activity. Discover the history of this lawless settlement that once housed 3,000 residents.
