Wildernet - North Carolina. The terrain of this southern state varies from east to west. Travelers can explore barrier islands in the Atlantic Ocean and 6,000 foot mountains in the Appalachians without leaving the North Carolina State boundaries. North Carolina can be geographically split into three regions: the coastal plains, piedmont and mountains. The Appalachian Mountains comprise the western region of the state. The Blue Ridge Mountains lie to the east with the Great Smoky Mountains creating the western ridge. Most of this region is protected by the federal government in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. The highest point on the east coast is Mount Mitchell.

North Carolina History. At the time of the first European contact, North Carolina was inhabited by a number of native tribes sharing some cultural traits, but also distinguished by regional and linguistic variations.

North Carolina can be divided into three physiographic provinces: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Blue Ridge. A physiographic map can also be viewed at the web site.

NHCS - Fort Dobbs. Named for royal governor Arthur Dobbs, the fort was built during the French and Indian War to protect settlers. Archaeologists and historians conjecture that the fort was dismantled after pioneers pushed further westward.

Horne Creek Farm. This site is under development as a place to experience everyday farm life in North Carolina's northwestern Piedmont ca. 1900. Visitors can take part in daily activities and special events of bygone farm life, as well as see, smell, touch, and hear things once common in North Carolina.

Vance Birthplace. This pioneer farmstead, tucked in the Reems Creek Valley, features the birthplace of Zebulon Baird Vance. The five-room log house---reconstructed around original chimneys--and its outbuildings are furnished to interpret the period from 1795 to 1840.

Thomas Wolfe Memorial. Thomas Wolfe left an indelible mark on American letters. His mother's boardinghouse in Asheville, North Carolina—now the Thomas Wolfe Memorial—has become one of literature's most famous landmarks.

Alamance Battleground. On this site in 1771, an armed rebellion of backcountry farmers—called Regulators—battled against royal governor William Tryon's militia. Visitors can tour the eighteenth-century Allen House and battlefield monuments. These features, together with the visitor center's multimedia orientation program, offer a vivid account of this colonial battle, as well as the pressures of colonial policies that precipitated the revolt.

House in the Horseshoe. In the summer and spring, bright flowers surround this white plantation house whose name comes from its location on a horseshoe bend in the Deep River. The house (ca. 1770) was owned by Philip Alston, whose band of whigs was attacked in 1781 by tories led by David Fanning. Later, four-term governor Benjamin Williams lived in the house, which now contains antiques of the colonial and Revolutionary War eras.

Bennett Place. This simple farmhouse was situated between Confederate General Johnston's headquarters in Greensboro and Union General Sherman's headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1865 the two soldiers met at the Bennett Place, where they signed surrender papers for Southern armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. Today James Bennett's reconstructed farmhouse, kitchen, and smokehouse give visitors a glimpse into the life-style of an ordinary Southern farmer during the Civil War years.

Duke Homestead. See the early home, factories, and farm where Washington Duke first grew and processed tobacco. Duke's sons later founded The American Tobacco Company, the largest tobacco company in the world. The tour includes Duke's restored home, an early factory, a curing barn, and a packhouse. The Tobacco Museum exhibits trace the history of tobacco from Native American times to the present.

NCHS - James K. Polk Memorial. This site is located on land once owned by the parents of James K. Polk, the 11th U.S. president. The memorial commemorates significant events in the Polk administration: the Mexican War, settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute, and the annexation of California. Reconstructions of typical homestead buildings—a log house, separate kitchen, and barn—are authentically furnished. The Visitor Center features a film on Polk's life and civic contributions.

Reed Gold Mine State Historic Site. Reed Gold Mine is the site of the first documented gold find in the United States. From this discovery, gold mining spread gradually to nearby counties and eventually into other southern states. During its peak years gold mining was second only to farming in the number of North Carolinians it employed. The estimated value of gold recovered reached over one million dollars a year. North Carolina led the nation in gold production until 1848, when it was eclipsed by the great rush to California.

Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site. For more than one thousand years, Indians lived an agricultural life on the lands that became known as North Carolina. Around A.D. 1200, a new cultural tradition arrived in the Pee Dee River Valley. That new culture, called "Pee Dee" by archaeologists, was part of a widespread tradition known as "South Appalachian Mississippian." Throughout Georgia, South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, and the southern North Carolina Piedmont, the new culture gave rise to complex societies.

Historic Halifax. Located on the Roanoke River, the town of Halifax developed into a commercial and political center at the time of the American Revolution. A guided walking tour takes you into several authentically restored and furnished buildings. These include the 1760 home of a merchant, the house and law office of a nineteenth-century attorney, and the 1808 home of a wealthy landowner. The 1833 clerk's office, a jail, Eagle tavern, and a unique archaeological exhibit are also featured on the tour.

NCHS - Aycock Birthplace. Charles B. Aycock was born into a simple, rural home in 1859. In 1900 he was elected governor and dedicated his life to improving public education in North Carolina. An 1893 one-room schoolhouse, moved to the site of his birthplace, underscores Aycock's commitment to education. This typical nineteenth-century family farm includes the main house, separate open-hearth kitchen, corn crib, and smokehouses.

NCHS - Brunswick Town - Fort Anderson. A major pre-Revolutionary port on North Carolina's Cape Fear River, Brunswick was razed by British troops in 1776 and never rebuilt. During the Civil War, Fort Anderson was constructed atop the old village site. Colonial foundations dot the present-day tour trail, which crosses the earthworks of the Confederate fort.

Somerset Place. Somerset Place is a representative historic site offering a comprehensive and realistic view of nineteenth-century life on a large-scale North Carolina plantation. Originally, this atypical plantation encompassed more than 100,000 densely wooded, predominantly swampy acres bordering Lake Phelps: a five-by-eight-mile body of water in present-day Washington County. During its 80-year tenure as an active plantation (1785-1865), hundreds of acres were converted into high yielding fields of rice, corn, oats, wheat, beans, peas, and flax; and sophisticated sawmills turned out thousands of feet of lumber. By 1865, Somerset Place had become one of the upper South's largest plantations.

NCHS - Historic Edenton. Edenton, North Carolina, is a storybook place. The view across Edenton Bay and the Albemarle Sound from the foot of Broad Street, the lovely waterfront parks, the tree-lined streets flanked by fine eighteenth- and nineteenth-century homes, the magnificent 1767 Chowan County Courthouse with its green running to the water, together yield an unsurpassed feeling of romance, charm, and warmth.

Historic Bath. European settlement near the Pamlico River in the 1690s led to the creation of Bath, North Carolina's first town, in 1705. The town's location seemed ideal with easy access to the river and the Atlantic Ocean 50 miles away at Ocracoke Inlet.

lords_props.html. On March 24, 1663, Charles II granted to the Lords Proprietors a slice of North America running from the Atlantic to the Pacific, lying between 36 degrees north latitude on the north and 31 degrees on the south. This huge section of continent was granted absolutely to the following men, to be financed by them, and for them to profit by, and to rule, with the help or interference of such a local government as they might permit. Above them was only the King. In the order named in Charles' charter they were: the Earl of Clarendon, the Duke of Albemarle, Lord Craven, Lord Berkeley, Lord Ashley, Sir George Carteret, Sir William Berkeley and Sir John Colleton.

The Lost State of Franklin. A new state split away from North Carolina in 1784, but soon became history.

History of Western North Carolina - Chapter VI - The State of Franklin. As Congress was heavily in debt at the close of the Revolutionary War, North Carolina, in 1784, "voted to give Congress the twenty-nine million acres lying between the Alleghany mountains and the Mississippi river." This did not please the Watauga setlers, and a few months later the legislature of North Carolina withdrew its gift, and again took charge of its western land because it feared the land would not be used to pay the debts of Congress. These North Carolina law makers also "ordered judges to hold court in the western counties, arranged to enroll a brigade of soldiers, and appointed John Sevier to command it."

Internet Resources for the Lost State of Franklin. Most citizens of the United States, or of the world for that matter, are not aware of the past existence of the State of Franklin. It was named after Benjamin Franklin and was slated to become our 14th State. North Carolina agreed to cede its western-most lands to the Union to pay off part of its Revolutionary War debts. The Watauga settlements were in this territory under the leadership of John Sevier. It was during this transitional period that the settlers decided to form an independent state, known as the State of Franklin, in 1784. Without the support of the Congress nor of North Carolina, Franklin was doomed to failure. Its citizens, however, persisted for a short time. The cause of the State of Franklin was lost after 4 short years and eventually became forgotten.

North Carolina Agriculture History. The first permanent English settlement in America was established at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607 on the James River. Land was being abandoned in Virginia because of low fertility as early as the 1620's. North Carolina was first settled from the north by Virginians in search of new land for tobacco. The Northeast part of the state was settled by 1650 but the Pamlico was not opened to settlers until 1700. One of the first areas settled after 1700 was the lake rim around Lake Mattamuskeet. These high organic soils were productive and the area developed into the major grain growing area on the east coast.

Earthquake History of North Carolina. The earliest North Carolina earthquake on record is that of March 8, 1735, near Bath. This event was probably less than intensity V. On February 21, 1774, a sharp shock was felt over much of Virginia and southward into North Carolina.

County History. A brief look at the origins of all 100 of North Carolina's counties.

North Carolina County Government. In pre-Revolutionary North Carolina the county was the primary political, as well as geographical unit. The colony relied heavily upon the county for administration of local government. Justices of the peace, as a body or court, administered the affairs of the county. These were men of standing and most often men of substance, and generally the leaders in their communities. Independence from England brought no major changes in this system. In the early days of statehood, justices were appointed by the governor to serve for good behavior; however, in making his appointments the governor relied on recommendations from the General Assembly.

The Story Behind the Homestead and Museum. Tobacco has been a part of the lives of Americans for many centuries. The first consumers of tobacco were the Indians of the New World, and the use of tobacco was adopted from them by the Europeans who settled in America. Tobacco came to play a significant role in the economy and society of the colonies. Bundles of tobacco served as currency during the colonial era, and the crop was exported to France to repay America's Revolutionary War debts. By the advent of the Civil War, the Indian custom had been transformed into a significant American industry. A major chapter in the story of the modern tobacco industry began on a modest farm on the outskirts of Durham, North Carolina. Built in 1852 by a young farmer, Washington Duke, as a home for himself and his new bride, this two-story framehouse was to become the birthplace of a factory complex that helped create one of the largest industries in the United States.
