North Carolina was first settled in 1587. 121 settlers led by John White landed on present-day Roanoke Island on July 22, 1587. It was the first English settlement in the New World.
In 1663, England's new king, Charles II, granted land for another colony called Carolina. The new colony stretched all the way from Virginia to Spanish Florida.
The Carolina Colony soon became hard to govern. It covered a huge area, and the colonists often ignored laws they disliked. In 1712, the colony was divided into two new colonies, NORTH CAROLINA and SOUTH CAROLINA. In hilly North Carolina, farmers grew tobacco and corn.
North Carolina's climate varies from the Atlantic coast in the east to the Appalachian Mountain range in the west. The mountains often act as a "shield", blocking low temperatures and storms from the Midwest from entering the Piedmont of North Carolina. In January the average temperatures range near 50 °F (10 °C).
The charter divided Carolina among eight English leaders, called the Lords Proprietors. In 1669, these leaders wrote a constitution, or a written plan of government, for Carolina. The constitution allowed free, male colonists to elect some leaders and make laws. Still, most of the power belonged to the proprietors and the king.

Woodland-culture American Indians were in the area around 1000 BCE; starting around 750 CE, Mississippian-culture Indians created larger political units with stronger leadership and more stable, longer-term settlements. During this time, important buildings were constructed as pyramidal, flat-topped buildings. By 1550, many groups of American Indians lived in present-day North Carolina, including Chowanoke, Roanoke, Pamlico, Machapunga, Coree, Cape Fear Indians, Waxhaw, Waccamaw, and Catawba.
Before 200 AD, residents were building earthwork mounds, which were used for cooking and religious purposes. Succeeding peoples, including those of the ancient Mississippian culture established by 1000 AD in Piedmont, continued to build or add onto such mounds. In the 500–700 years preceding European contact, the Mississippian culture built large, complex cities and maintained far-flung regional trading networks. Historically documented tribes in the North Carolina region included the Carolina Aliquion]-speaking tribes of the coastal areas.
