North Carolina's origins trace back to the early 17th century when it was part of the proprietary colony of Carolina, granted by King Charles II to eight Lords Proprietors in 1663. The southern part of the colony eventually developed more rapidly, leading to a split in 1712, creating North and South Carolina. The region’s economy initially centered on agriculture, with tobacco as a key crop, drawing settlers and contributing to its growth. Over time, North Carolina evolved through a combination of colonial governance, indigenous interactions, and the influence of trade and migration.
