北卡罗来纳的第一个欧洲殖民地是着名的洛亚诺克岛(Roanoke
Island)，它于1587年后的某个时刻消失无踪。1629年时，英王查理一世(King
Charles I)封赐了一块土地，而北卡罗来纳则位于这块土地的北方，为纪念英王查理一世，才以他的名字为这片北部土地命名(Carolus是查理的拉丁字)。北卡罗来纳于1789年添加联邦，成为美国原始的13州中的第12州。观光业是它的主要工业之一，因为许多美国人会到此处享受当地漂亮的海滩。「焦油脚州」(Tar
Heel State)的首府是洛利(Raleigh)，而它的州花是山茱萸。
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.
