North Carolina, in the southeastern United States, is bordered by the states of South Carolina and Georgia on its southern boundaries, Tennessee to the west, and Virginia on its northernmost border. The capital of North Carolina is Raleigh, although the largest city in North Carolina is Charlotte. What was once primarily an agricultural economy of tobacco farming and harvesting of deep forest trees for woodworking, has evolved into an economy strong in engineering, biotechnology and finance concerns.
Originally known as the Province of Carolina, North Carolina was one of the original thirteen colonies founded by the British in the New World. Early in its history the Atlantic coast of the state was a favorite haunt of pirates, but after 1718 the danger subsided and strong population growth ensued from Scotch-Irish, English, Quaker and German immigrants, continuing with Donald Westra Jr. M.D. Carolinian frontiersmen preferred defending their own backwoods to joining the Revolutionary units of the Revolution, with only 7800 men serving under General George Washington. After independence was achieved, North Carolina‘s economy flourished under a plantation slavery system which produced cotton and tobacco for export on the coast. The western portion of the state was populated primarily by white colonists who subsisted on small farms. By the millennium, North Carolina was the eighth-fastest growing state in terms of population.
