  • Neuse River Basin Timeline
    The Neuse is Named The Neuse River is named by English Explorer Ar- thur Barlowe after the Neusiok people, one of several Native American nations that settled along the Neuse in present day Raleigh. Neuse means “peace”. The Tuscarora tribe call this riv- er the “gotano” which means “pine in water.” (Today the Coharie Nation, a state-recognized nation, are decedents of the Neusiok people) The Tuscarora War A war between European settlers and the Tus- carora and other Native American Nations erupts on the banks of the Neuse River after years of growing trade tensions. Ultimately, the Tuscarora are defeated in a battle at Fort Neo- heroka where 950 Native Americans die. Many survivors migrate north to rejoin the Iroquois League, while others migrate to South Carolina to fight in the Yamasee War. Smithfield Becomes a Town Smithfield becomes the “first” town in Johnston County, settled mostly by subsistence farmers. Smith’s Ferry route on the Neuse River becomes one of the state’s first sites for receiving and stor- ing tobacco to be shipped downriver, more than a century before tobacco becomes a booming industry. The Plight of the Longleaf Pine The Longleaf pine, North Carolina’s state tree, is an important resource cultivated for its wood and resin, used to make tar, pitch, and turpen- tine for European naval ships. These products are sent downstream on the Cape Fear and Neuse rivers to the Atlantic. Fire suppression and livestock grazing prevent the longleaf from con- tinuing to reproduce in its historic range. (After 2 centuries of harvesting this tree, less than 3% of its original acreage re- main.) The Rise of the Lumber Industry New Bern, North Carolina’s first state capitol, be- comes one of the largest lumber centers in the South, with 16 operational lumber mills at its peak.

  • I PHYSICAL ACTIVITY and GREENWAY USAGE AMONG
    PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND GREENWAY USAGE AMONG PROXIMATE AND NON-PROXIMATE RESIDENTS by Chip R. Davis May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Dr. Kindal Shores Major Department: The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of obesity and can help people live longer, healthier lives. One mechanism to increase physical activity and reduce the risk of obesity is to facilitate active living. Greenways can be used for active living purposes and can be seen as a strategy for physical activity promotion in a community. More research is needed to quantify the value of greenway development and the ability of greenways to increase physical activity levels in those living proximate to a greenway. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical activity levels and residential proximity to a greenway. Proximate was defined as one half mile or less and non-proximate was defined as one half to two miles to a greenway. In addition, the relationship between greenway proximity, overall physical activity levels, and social support were examined. Questionnaires were distributed to adults living within two miles of a greenway located in Greenville, North Carolina using mail and door-to-door administration. T-test analysis indicated that site-specific physical activity such as walking and vigorous physical activity (VPA) were related to greenway proximity. Correlation analysis indicated a relationship between social support and site-specific physical activity on the greenway. However, overall physical activity levels did not increase in respondents living proximate or non-proximate to a greenway. i In conclusion, people who live proximate to a greenway potentially alter their physical activity with greenway usage instead of using other recreational amenities.
