The History of Charlotte, North Carolina

Romare Bearden Park has beautiful foliage as well as plenty of benches and walking space for people on skateboards, city scooters, or their own two feet. It also has a field at one end in which dogs, families, couples, and little children can have fun during a nice warm day. Charlotte has multiple events that it hosts for different occasions such as the Fourth of July or St. Patrick’s Day to name a few. Other major attractions in Charlotte that make it unique are the Nascar Hall of Fame bringing in some history to the area and the Charlotte Knights baseball team at the BB&T Ballpark.

Charlotte is an ever-growing city. It is relatively new which gives it modern beauty. The queen city (nicknamed because of Queen Charlotte) is also very diverse due to its growth. People from all over the United States move to Charlotte every year. Along with the diversity of the people, Charlotte has a diversity of food to choose from. The city is not too big and not too small. Walking around the city is a nice walk especially at the different parks all over the city.

Charlotte is a fast growing city where young professionals live, work, and play. This great city is home to NASCAR Racetrack and the US National Whitewater Center. Charlotte is also home to a number of historic venues such as the Historic Latta Plantation, President James K. Polk State Historic site, and the Reed Mine Gold State Park, to name a few.

Charlotte is a fine city, comprised of a well-manicured uptown and several sprawling boroughs; but it lacks culture. Has largely destroyed its culture in the name of “revitalization” and overpriced housing, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. There are a few stalwart institutions still breathing with the history of the Queen City (Price’s Chicken Coop!); but they remain anachronisms in a city more concerned with newness than its past.
