History of Charlotte, North CarolinaFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charlotte is the largest city in the state of North Carolina and the seat ofMecklenburg County. In 2009, Charlotte's population was estimated to be 716,874,making it the 19th largest city in the United States. A resident of Charlotte isreferred to as a Charlottean.

Nicknamed the Queen City, Charlotte (as well as the county containing it) is namedin honor of the German Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg, who had becomequeen consort of British King George III the year before the city's founding.
