Even though that's mostly about SC and FL's relationship. I still find this info interesting: North Carolina History North Carolina was originally inhabited by many different prehistoric native cultures. Before 200 AD, they were building earthwork mounds, which were used for ceremonial and religious purposes. Succeeding peoples, including those of the ancient Mississippian culture established by 1000 AD in the Piedmont, continued to build or add on to such mounds. In the 500–700 years preceding European contact, the Mississippian culture built large, complex cities and maintained far flung regional trading networks. Historically documented tribes in the North Carolina region included the Carolina Algonquian-speaking tribes of the coastal areas, such as the Chowanoke, Roanoke, Pamlico, Machapunga, Coree, Cape Fear Indians, and others, who were the first encountered by the English; Iroquoian-speaking Meherrin, Cherokee and Tuscarora of the interior; and Southeastern Siouan tribes, such as the Cheraw, Waxhaw, Saponi, Waccamaw, and Catawba.
Spanish explorers traveling inland in the 16th century met the Mississippian culture people at Joara, a regional chiefdom near present-day Morganton. Records of Hernando de Soto attested to his meeting with them in 1540. In 1567 Captain Juan Pardo led an expedition into the interior to claim the area for the Spanish colony, as well as establish another route to protect silver mines in Mexico. Pardo made a winter base at Joara, which he renamed Cuenca. The expedition built Fort San Juan and left 30 men, while Pardo traveled further, and built and staffed five other forts. He returned by a different route to Santa Elena on Parris Island, South Carolina, then a center of Spanish Florida. In the spring of 1568, natives killed all but one of the soldiers and burned the six forts in the interior, including the one at Fort San Juan. Although the Spanish never returned to the interior, this marked the first European attempt at colonization of the interior of what became the United States. A 16th-century journal by Pardo's scribe Bandera and archaeological findings since 1986 at Joara have confirmed the settlement lol those pics are cute/funny XD

Some how France got a hold of Ouran High School Host Club. He thought Japan was trying to give him a little hint hint nudge nudge type deal since the leader is French, blonde, sexy, and has the same violet blue eyes that Francis has. In his mind he thou--
"Japan gave me a sign~! I glorious sign that I should make my own Host Club~! It's the perfect way to end my final year here at Gakuen~! emotion_kirakira emotion_bigheart "
...Now do you see it? emotion_sweatdrop
And I don't know. Maybe I'm magic? XD
"*ear twitches and he looks over, a little curious since it looks like Florida has some sort of treat* neutral ... Whatcha got there, Daisy? *still has a bottle cap in his hand from him playing*"

I reckon in a way ^.^; Looking back it's difficult to tell just how old NC really is. The Spanish were the first in 1540. In 1584, Elizabeth I, granted a charter to Sir Walter Raleigh. "Raleigh established two colonies on the coast in the late 1580s, both ending in failure. It was the second American territory the English attempted to colonize." & Virgina Dare (the first English child born as American) was born on August 18, 1587. "As early as 1650, colonists from the Virginia colony moved into the area of Albemarle Sound. By 1663, King Charles II of England granted a charter to start a new colony on the North American continent which generally established its borders. He named it Carolina in honor of his father Charles I" Then in 1710 the North and South Carolina split.

Well, honestly, I don't consider states really existing until they're settled and are forming into a community/political unit. I don't like the idea of basing a colony's age on exploration at all because it's just some guy walking through the woods... It's not anything except land. *shrugs* Although trying to determine between 1650 and 1663 sounds a little more difficult... I'd say 1650ish would be good.
*flinches at first thinking he's going to be attacked* >//n//<; ... *not abused* ... Um... They gave me this thing. Armelle called it a rum-coke float. W-Want some? <.<;
*snickers* It's like watching some kid trying to befriend the neighborhood wild dog/cat.
*holds out drink cautiously* No biting. <_<;
