Sully Cross Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 The first established settlement in what is now modern North Carolina was the first Charles Town, established on the Cape Fear River in 1665 by Sir John Yeamans and immigrants from Barbados. The town was soon abandoned in 1667. By 1691, people were referring to Carolina by its geographical divisions of North Carolina and South Carolina. North Carolina was connected with the Virginia immigrants and the Cavaliers who supported the Crown. South Carolina was linked to immigrants from Barbados, who founded the second Charles Town — present-day Charleston, South Carolina — in 1670. The first is a 1695 map of Carolina shows eastern North Carolina and the Counties of Albemarle and Clarendon. The second is a late 18th century map showing Beaufort, Ocracoke Island, and the Pamlico Sound of North Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
