WELCOME TO
NORTH CAROLINA
NORTH CAROLINA North Carolina, which was at one time combined with South Carolina to form a single territory, was one of the original 13 colonies and became the 12th state in 1789. It sent the most troops to fight in the Civil War as part of the Confederacy before it was readmitted into the Union in 1868. North Carolina is nestled between South Carolina and Virginia. Spanning the Atlantic coastline, North Carolina offers a mild climate and 300 miles of shoreline. Geographically, the state is divided in three. Its Coastal Plain is filled with beautiful beaches including the Outer Banks, which tops U.S. News list for Best Family Beach Vacations in the USA. It also marks the spot where the Wright brothers made the first successful flight in history in 1903. Next comes the Piedmont, a plateau that stretches from Virginia to Alabama, and then the Appalachian Mountains.
