North Carolina United States
North Carolina is a state located in the Southeastern United States along
its Atlantic Seaboard. It was one of the original Thirteen Colonies,
originally known as Carolina, and the home of the first English colony in
the Americas. On 20 May 1861, it became the last of the Confederate states
to secede from the Union, and was readmitted on 4 July 1868. It was also
the location of the first successful powered heavier-than-air flight by
the Wright brothers at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk in 1903. Today, it
is a fast-growing state with an increasingly diverse economy and
population. As of 1 July 2006, the population estimate is 8,856,505[3] - a
10% increase since 1 April 2000. |
