About Charlotte, North Carolina

Charlotte is North Carolina's largest city, a gleaming banking capital whose Uptown skyline rises from land once at the heart of America's first gold rush. Named for a British queen and famous for its 'hornet's nest' Revolutionary defiance, it blends Southern roots with a modern identity built on finance, NASCAR, and a fast-growing arts and food scene.

History of Charlotte

• In the Mecklenburg Resolves of May 31, 1775, local leaders declared the authority of the King and Parliament 'null and void,' more than a year before the Declaration of Independence.
