As early as the 1650s settlers from Virginia had been moving into the area of Albemarle Sound (now part of North Carolina). The colony of "Carolina" was officially granted a charter by 1663 and again in 1665, but the administrative seat was in Charleston (now in South Carolina).

It appears that from the beginning, there were governance issues, possibly due to the distance between the two locations. Sometime in 1689-90, the governor in Charleston appointed a Deputy Governor to oversee the northern portion of the colony. By 1712, the split became official and the Governor of each area was appointed separately.

The particulars of the grievances that caused the split are a bit ambiguous. See link below for additional reading.
