==History==
One or more lighthouses were built at Federal Point prior to the Civil War.〔Stick, David, ''Bald Head: A History of Smith Island and Cape Fear,'' Broadfoot Publishing Company, Wendell NC, 1985, p. 38, 71, ISBN 0-916107-00-0.〕 A light tower was destroyed by Confederate troops in early 1860s.〔
After a new inlet opened south of Federal Point, a new lighthouse was constructed in 1866. It was a cottage-style lighthouse on piers. The light was extinguished in 1879〔 or 1881.〔 A rock seawall was built in 1881 to close the inlet. The lighthouse burned in 1881.〔〔
