North CarolinaNorth Carolina is a state located on the Atlantic Seaboard in the southern region of the United States of America. The capital is Raleigh.

It was also the location of the first successful manned powered heavier-than-air flight, by the Wright brothers, at Kill Devil Hills near Kitty Hawk in 1903. Today, it is a fast-growing state with an increasingly diverse economy and population. As of 1 July 2007, the population estimate is 9,061,032 (a 12% increase since 1 April 2000).
