FACTS ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA
A GREAT TEAM BUILDING LOCATION
North Carolina, one of the originl thirteen colonies, was named for King Charles I (Carolus in Latin). Charlotte, the largest city in the state, is also the nation’s largest banking presence outside of New York City. North Carolina is also the largest film making state outside of California. Movie studios are located in Shelby, Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, and Wilmington. Some of the films and television shows filmed there include: Dawson’s Creek, One Tree Hill, Cape Fear, Maximum Overdrive and The Crow.
Historians have recorded that the principal products during the early history of North Carolina were “tar, pitch, and turpentine.” It was during one of the fiercest battles of the War Between the States, so the story goes, that the column supporting the North Carolina troops was driven from the field. After the battle the North Carolinians, who had successfully fought it out alone, were greeted from the passing derelict regiment with the question: “Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?” Quick as a flash came the answer: “No, not a bit, old Jeff’s bought it all up.” “Is that so; what is he going to do with it?” was asked. “He’s going to put on you-un’s heels to make you stick better in the next fight.” Creecy relates that General Lee, upon hearing of the incident, said: “God bless the Tar Heel boys,” and from that they took the name.
