Church’s Island to the east of Coinjock in the Currituck Sound has a village called Waterlily, which uses the postal address of Coinjock as well.

The name Coinjock is of Native American origin, meaning “the place of the blueberry swamps”, referring to the swamp blueberries native to the county. The name has also been spelled “Coenjock”, “Cowenjock”, or “Cornjack”, and sometimes as two words with the second beginning with a capital J. Bishop Thomas Coke visited Coenjock, as he called it, and preached to a small congregation in its chapel on March 19, 1785.

The Coinjock Colored School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
