Our 16 County
Region Offers
A Wide Range Of Amenities
At the time of the
first European contact, North Carolina was
inhabited by a number of native tribes sharing
some cultural traits, but also distinguished by
regional and linguistic variations. The first
permanent English settlers in North Carolina
were immigrants from the tidewater area of
southeastern Virginia. The first of these
"overflow" settlers moved into the Albemarle
area of northeast North Carolina around 1650.

In 1663,
Charles II granted a charter to eight
English gentlemen who had helped him
regain the throne of England. The
territory was called Carolina in honor
of Charles the First ("Carolus" is the
Latin form of
"Charles").
On April 12, 1776, North Carolina
authorized her delegates to the
Continental Congress to vote for
independence. This was the first
official action by a colony calling for
independence. The 83 delegates present
in Halifax at the Fourth Provincial
Congress unanimously adopted the Halifax
Resolves. In early December 1776,
delegates to the Fifth Provincial
Congress adopted the first constitution
for North Carolina. |

On December 21, 1776, Richard
Caswell became the first governor
under the new constitution. In 1788,
the state rejected the United States
Constitution because of the lack of
necessary amendments to ensure
freedom of the people; however, on
November 21, 1789, the state adopted
the constitution, becoming the
twelfth state to enter the federal
union. On average, there are 214
sunny days per year in northeastern
North Carolina. The July high is
around 89 degrees. The January low
is 29. Our comfort index, which is
based on humidity during the hot
months, is a 34 out of 100, where
higher is more comfortable. The US
average on the comfort index is 44.
