"North Carolina became the 12th state on November 21, 1789. Governor James B. Hunt had several state groups and coin collectors evaluate design ideas from the people of North Carolina. The governor and his committees selected the "First Flight" design idea to represent their state quarter. The words "First Flight" are in the center of the quarter." - Excerpt from page linked below.
It is a shame that people who designed the quarter didn't see how misleading it is to place the year 1789 above "First Flight". In fact the Wright brothers had their first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903.
