Best Answer

King Charles I of England granted all the land between Virginia and Spanish Florida to Sir Robert Heath in 1629. Heath never developed the land which he called Carolana, so King Charles II granted the same territory, with its name changed to Carolina, to eight noblemen who became the lords proprietors of the region in 1663.
