The Southeastern state of North Carolina, also known as the Tar Heel State, is the country’s largest producer of furniture, brick, tobacco, and textile production. The first discovery of gold in the United States happened here in 1799, and North Carolina was the only gold-producing U.S. State from 1803 until 1828.
Today, its two largest metropolitan areas – Raleigh and Charlotte – are among the top ten fastest-growing in the nation.
