About North Carolina
North Carolina was the site of an early attempted English settlement in the 1580s, and has played a major role in the history of the United States. North Carolinians were influential throughout the American Revolution and, during the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, became a key part of the ultimate American victory. North Carolina joined the Union on November 21, 1789, as the 12th of the original 13 states. Although the state’s inhabitants were uneasy about joining the Union in 1789, they were just as hesitant to leave it during the American Civil War. Nevertheless, once they seceded with the Confederacy, they gave completely of North Carolina’s men and assets.
North Carolina’s name come from the Latin word Carolinus, which means“of Charles.” The state was named in honor of King Charles the I of England, and his son Charles. Their friends and supporters were establishing colonies in the southern part of the Virginia colony with their wealth. The state is often called the “Tar Heel State.” With time, the source of the name became lost, but many historians believe it is a reference to one of the state’s chief colonial-era goods—tar—which is made by slowly burning the stumps of longleaf pine trees. A more commonly acknowledged explanation is that the name was coined during the Civil War. Some say the name was at first being used as an insult, applied to North Carolina soldiers who could not hold a position against Union troops because they had forgotten to “tar their heels” and thus could not stick to their ground. Others contend Confederate leaders applied the name to North Carolina troops as a tribute to their sticking quality during battle. The state, once the northern part of the original Carolina colony, is also referred to as the “Old North State.”
The state has been a leader in state improvements and public education. From a high sand dune called Kill Devil Hill, located near Kitty Hawk on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first successful airplane flights in 1903. North Carolina is bordered by Virginia on the north, Tennessee on the west, and South Carolina and Georgia on the south. The Atlantic Ocean forms its long irregular eastern boundary. North Carolina has been an important agricultural state for centuries, and is the nation’s leading grower of tobacco. Beginning in the 1920s, it has also been a major source of manufactured goods, especially tobacco products, chemicals, textiles, and furniture.
Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, is known as the City of Oaks, for its many oak trees. Very few cities were chosen and planned as capitals before they were built, and Raleigh is one of these cities. It is named for Sir Walter Raleigh, who sponsored the lost Roanoke Colony.
Charlotte is the largest city and the center of the state’s most populous metropolitan region. It was born at a crossroads between two Native American trade routes in the late 1600s, and was named after Queen Charlotte. The residents were so resolutely anti-British that the city earned the nickname the Hornet’s Nest from the British, a moniker that sticks with the city today. Many of its sports team are named the Hornets. A 17 pound rock, found by a 12 year-old boy in 1799, was discovered to be gold, and America’s first gold rush began in Charlotte.
