Synopsis

A valuable, basic resource for genealogical research and the study of state and local history. It contains the date and history of the formation of each North Carolina county; a description, taken from the laws, of boundary lines; and maps (1700-1912) that show the development of the state from northeast to southeast and then westward; and a chart giving the dates of the formation and the origins of each county.
