What does the number 1217 have to do with North Carolina?|190518

Is there a historical meaning, maybe a location of something significant? Does it have to do with the Lost Colony? I_m doing something related to the Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk area and I need to know what significance it has. Maybe it was before North Carolina and South Carolina seperated?

Maybe this
