North Carolina is a state
located on the Atlantic Seaboard in the southeastern United States.
The state borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee
to the west and Virginia to the north. North Carolina contains 100 counties
and its capital is Raleigh. North
Carolina was one of the original Thirteen Colonies,
originally known as Carolina. Joara,
a native village near present-day Morganton, was the site in
1567 of Fort San Juan, the first
Spanish colonial settlement in the interior of what became the United
States. A colony was later established
at Roanoke Island, the first
attempt by the English to found a settlement in the Americas. On May 20,
1861, North Carolina was one of the last of the Confederate states
to declare secession from the Union, to which it was
restored on July 4, 1868. The state was the location of the first successful
controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air flight, by the Wright
brothers, at Kill
Devil Hills, about 6.4 miles from Kitty Hawk in 1903. Today, it is a fast-growing state with an
increasingly diverse economy and population.
As of July 1, 2008, the population was estimated to be 9,222,414 (a
14.5% increase since April 1, 2000).
Recognizing eight Native American
tribes, North Carolina has the largest population of Native Americans of any
state east of the Mississippi River. |
