Person County

November 3rd, 2009

Person County is a county located in the Northwest Piedmont in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Part of the Durham-Chapel Hill Metropolitan Area. The population was 35,623 at the 2000 census.

The county seat is Roxboro. The southern portion of the county, closer to the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area, is the fastest growing, with new businesses and subdivisions.

This area was inhabited by indigenous peoples, ancestors of Native Americans, for 12,000 years. The Mississippian culture peoples built earthwork mounds in their chiefdoms in the western part of the state, such as Joara. Some of these native people were encountered by the Juan Pardo expedition in the mid-1500s.

European explorers first arrived in Person County in the 1600s. Settlement by immigrants of Scots, Scots-Irish, English, French Huguenot, African and German ancestry did not take place until the mid-17th through 19th centuries.

European-Americans established Person County as part of Edgecombe County in 1746; part of Granville County from 1746-1752; included in Orange County until 1778, and even part of Caswell County until 1791/1792. By dividing Caswell County into two squares–each side measuring approximately twenty  miles in length, the settlers formed two counties of 400–square miles each.

Roxboro is the only incorporated municipality in the county. There are nine townships, many with community centers or postal offices. The city of Roxboro was chartered January 9, 1855.

Piedmont Triad

October 9th, 2009

The Piedmont Triad, Triad, or North Carolina Triad is a region of  North Carolina in the Piedmont that consists of the area centered about the triad or group of three cities: Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point. The area is connected by Interstates 40, 85, 73, & 74 and is served by the Piedmont Triad International Airport. Long known as one of the primary manufacturing and transportation hubs of the southeastern United States, the Triad is also an important educational and cultural region and occupies a prominent place in the history of the American Civil Rights Movement. The Triad is not to be confused with the “Triangle” region (Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill) directly to the east. As of 2008, the Piedmont Triad has an estimated population of 1,603,101 making it the 30th largest CSA metropolitan area in the USA.

Research Triangle

October 9th, 2009

The Research Triangle commonly referred to as simply The Triangle, is a region in the Piedmont of North Carolina, incorporating the cities of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. The eight-county region, officially named the Raleigh-Durham-Cary CSA, comprises two Metropolitan and one Micropolitan Statistical Area: Raleigh-Cary and Durham-Chapel Hill metropolitan area. A 2008 Census Estimate put the population at 1,690,557, and the region’s population was over 1,700,000 as of July 2009. The Fayetteville metro is sometimes included as a part of the region and has a population of 2,041,000 when added. The research universities of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, and Duke University are located in this region. The “Triangle” name was cemented in the public consciousness in the 1950s with the creation of Research Triangle Park, home to numerous high-tech companies and enterprises. Although the name is now used to refer to the geographic region, “The Triangle” originally referred to the universities, whose research facilities, and the educated workforce they provide, have historically served as a major attraction for businesses located in the region. The region should not be confused with “The Triad”, which is a North Carolina region directly west of the Triangle. Most of the Triangle is represented by, and closely associated with, the second, fourth and thirteenth congressional districts.

Raleigh, North Carolina

October 9th, 2009

Raleigh is the capital city of the state of North Carolina, the seat of Wake County and the second largest city in the state. It is known as the “City of Oaks” for its many oak trees. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city’s estimated population on 7-1-2008 was 392,552 (a 42% increase from the 2000 Census), making Raleigh the 8th fastest growing city and the 45th largest city in the United States.

Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill make up the three historically primary cities of the Research Triangle metropolitan region. The regional nickname of “The Triangle” originated after the 1959 creation of the Research Triangle Park, located between the three cities. The Research Triangle region encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau’s Combined Statistical Area of Raleigh-Durham-Cary in the central Piedmont region of North Carolina. As of 7-1-2008 the estimated population of the Raleigh-Durham-Cary CSA was 1,690,557, while the Raleigh-Cary Metropolitan Statistical Area was estimated at 1,088,765, making it the nation’s fastest growing metropolitan area.

Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County. The towns of Cary, Garner, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh’s primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.

Music

October 2nd, 2009

North Carolina is known particularly for its tradition of old-time music, and many recordings were made in the early 20th century by folk song collector Bascom Lamar Lunsford. Musicians such as the North Carolina Ramblers helped solidify the sound of country music in the late 1920s, while the influential bluegrass musician Doc Watson also came from North Carolina. Both North and South Carolina are a hotbed for traditional rural blues, especially the style known as the Piedmont blues.

The Triangle area has long been a well-known center for folk, rock, metal, and punk. James Taylor grew up around Chapel Hill and his 1968 song “Carolina in My Mind” has been called an unofficial anthem for the state.

College sports

October 2nd, 2009

Although North Carolina did not have a major-league professional sports franchise until the 1980s, the state has long been known as a hotbed of college basketball. Since the formation of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 1953, the conference’s North Carolina member schools have excelled in conference play.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), Duke University, and North Carolina State University are all located within 25 miles (40 km) of one another, creating fierce rivalries. Wake Forest University, another ACC member, is located less than 100 miles (160 km) to the west of these schools in Winston-Salem. UNC has won five NCAA national championships in basketball: 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, and 2009. Duke has won three NCAA championships: 1991, 1992, and 2001. NC State has won two: 1974 and 1983. The Duke-UNC basketball rivalry has been called one of the best rivalries in sports and the two schools are often contenders for the national title. In addition to the ACC schools, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte went to the NCAA’s Final Four in 1977, and Davidson College near Charlotte went to the NCAA’s “Elite Eight” in 1968, 1969, and 2008. In 2007 Barton College in Wilson won the NCAA Division II championship in men’s basketball.

Although basketball remains the dominant college sport in North Carolina, several schools have also enjoyed success in football and other sports. In 2005, 2006, and 2007 Appalachian State University won the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision championship; they are the first university to win the Division I Football Championship Subdivision championship three times in a row. Wake Forest University has also enjoyed substantial success in football; in 2007 they won the ACC football championship and participated in the 2007 Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. This was the first major bowl berth for a North Carolina-based team since Duke defeated Arkansas in the 1961 Cotton Bowl (game).
