History of Charlotte

History of Charlotte

President Polk Historic Site Charlotte North Carolina

The first known historic tribe to settle in the area were the Catawba Native Americans around 1567. Nearly two hundred years later around 1755, European colonists arrived, but sadly, by 1759, and with no immunity, half the Catawba tribe died from contracting smallpox, a disease the European colonists had brought with them. First to develop the city “proper” were the Scottish-Irish Presbyterians who arrived from Northern Ireland. Once referred to as the "Queen City,” Charlotte was later named specifically after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the Queen Consort of British King George III of Great Britain and Ireland in 1761. The Mecklenburg Resolves, a form of independence from British rule, was signed in 1775 to become the first independence documents on the route to the American Revolution. Following the Civil War, Charlotte became an important cotton processing center and railroad hub. In the 1970s and 1980s, largely due to North Carolina National Bank’s aggressive takeovers and merger with BankAmerica to eventually become Bank of America, Charlotte was well and truly put on the USA financial map. Of the assets managed by the city’s financial institutions, Charlotte became the second largest US banking center in the United States after New York City. First Union also grew dramatically and was taken over by Wells Fargo in 2008, becoming the East Coast operations center for Wells Fargo.

Location

Charlotte is located in the Piedmont region to the southeast of Lake Norman, the largest man-made lake in North Carolina. It’s some 165 miles southwest of the state capitol, Raleigh. There are many great neighborhoods in surrounding Charlotte, or within a relatively short distance of downtown Charlotte. A few of these include Uptown (confusingly also known as downtown Charlotte), Myers Park, and a little further away, Lake Norman or Gastonia. Charlotte Neighborhoods Wedgewood and McIntyre Wedgewood, north of the city, is a lovely Charlotte neighborhood offering a liberal and suburban feel and atmosphere. There are many parks and open spaces that attract young professionals and families to the area. Schools here are above average. Sevierville Sevierville is a neighborhood in North West Charlotte, very similar in its community make-up to Wedgewood. Steele Creek Steele Creek is an attractive community for mobile home purchasers essentially within the (west) city limits of Charlotte. When it comes to mobile home ownership, it is of interest that American politician Melvin Luther, who lived in the community, was appointed by President Barack Obama as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency from 2014 to 2019.

Eastland Eastland, known as Wilora Lake, is located to the east of the city and is named after the former eponymous mall that was demolished in 2014. The legacy of the mall saw the construction of a community atrium, park, office and retail spaces to replace it.
