About North Carolina
The US state of North Carolina is located in the center of the eastern United States and has a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
The state borders Virginia in the north, South Carolina in the south, Georgia in the southwest and Tennessee in the west. The state’s nickname is “Tar Heel State.”
Short History
First settled by the English in the late 1600s. In 1584 Queen Elizabeth I issued a charter to Sir Walter Raleigh to establish a colony in America.
The region of what is now North Carolina was part of the original territory of the United States.
Both North Carolina and South Carolina were included in the charter that established Carolina in 1663. The two areas separated in 1712, a separation that was finalized when the Carolina Colony was dissolved in 1729. On 21 November 1789, North Carolina ratified the Constitution; it was the 12th of the original 13 states to join the Union.
