Charlotte, North Carolina, is known as a place of contrasts. Historical brick buildings mingle with modern skyscrapers in a downtown area known as Uptown. International business and modern entertainment combine with old-fashioned Southern charm and country roots. One of the fastest-growing cities in the country, Charlotte's inspiring cultural scene, nationally-acclaimed sports franchises, and spirited Southern energy make for an engaging travel experience.
This bustling borough is called the "Queen City" for having been named in honor of Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the queen consort oof King George III. Founded in 1768 on an ancient Indian path in the southern Piedmont's region's rolling hills, this small settlement quickly became the main market city in the region and enjoyed an era of booming economy with the discovery of gold. Cotton and textile industries grew up around a new railroad hub, and Charlotte soon became North Carolina's largest and most prosperous city.
Prohibition would test the limits of the city's prosperity, so enterprising bootleggers began transporting beer, whiskey, moonshine, and other outlawed adult beverages across state lines in powered-up Ford coupes. Racing against time and law enforcement, these entrepreneurs discovered a need for speed, with many Carolinians taking part in the lucrative but risky enterprise. These high-speed, backroad races would lead to the rise of NASCAR, which has its headquarters in Charlotte.
This love of speed is reflected today in Charlotte's meteoric rise from a colonial outpost to a high-powered banking center and major influential Southern city.
A relentlessly forward-facing city, Charlotte offers a curated selection of historical buildings and an abundance of unique and fulfilling experiences. Art, sportsmanship, legacy, technology, faith, perserverance- the attractions in Charlotte celebrate the greatest traits and contributions of its residents.
