The Tarheel State
In 1712, the Carolina colony was split into north and south. Timber, tobacco, textiles, and furniture dominated the NC economy for over 200 years. Some NC firsts include powered flight (Kitty Hawk), public university (NC State), state art museum (1956), gold rush (1799), the political demonstration by women, state-supported symphony orchestra (1932), African-American owned insurance company (1898), and Family Dollar Store (1959).
