Charlotte, North Carolina
Charlotte was born in the mid-eighteenth century, at the crossroads of two great Native American trade routes. Founded in 1769 and named for Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III of England, the city has a rich heritage steeped in its Scots-Irish settlers, the discovery of gold, and a range of industries. After the U.S. independence was won, Charlotte became the site of one of the first confirmed gold finds in U.S. history. The year was 1799, and a young boy returned from a fishing trip with a curious 17-pound chunk of rock. Throughout the next century, gold was the talk of Charlotte. Fortune seekers from all over the world poured into the city, and the federal government saw fit to construct a new branch of the U.S. Mint here. While the Charlotte Gold Rush was severely overshadowed by the more famous gold discoveries out West, this episode forever remains an integral part of the city's rich history.

In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the city grew into an important ginning and distribution center for the region's cotton industry, thereby becoming an integral hub for the nation's burgeoning railroad system as well. Charlotte was soon an ideal place for textile manufacturing, and by the turn of the century, over half of all U.S. textile production occurred in and around the city.

In recent decades, Charlotte's distribution networks and control over high finance have done nothing but grow. While the city has become an international banking capital (home to Fortune 500 companies like Bank of America and Wachovia), the people of Charlotte have not forgotten their rich history.
