The first European settlement in North Carolina is the famous Lost
Colony of Roanoke Island that vanished sometime after 1587. North
Carolina is the northern portion of the original 1629 land grant made
by England's King Charles I, which was named in his honor (Carolus is
Latin for Charles). North Carolina joined the Union in 1789 and is the
12th of the original 13 states. One of its major industries is
tourism, as many Americans travel to the state to enjoy its beautiful
beaches. The capital of the "Tar Heel State" is Raleigh, and the
dogwood blossom is the state flower.
