  • CENTER CITY: the Business District and the Original Four Wards
    THE CENTER CITY: The Business District and the Original Four Wards By Dr. Thomas W. Hanchett The history of Charlotte's Center City area is largely a story of what is no longer there. The grid of straight streets that lies within today's innermost expressway loop was the whole of Charlotte less than one hundred years ago. Today it contains a cluster of skyscrapers, three dozen residential blocks, and a vast area of vacant land with only scattered buildings. This essay will trace the Center City's development, then look at the significant pre-World War II structures remaining in each of the area's four wards. The Center City has experienced three distinct development phases as Charlotte has grown from a village to a town to a major city. In the first phase, the area was the entire village. It was what geographers term a "walking city," arranged for easy pedestrian movement with the richest residents living the shortest walk to the commercial core. This era lasted from settlement in 1753 through the 1880s. In 1891 the new electric trolley system transformed Charlotte into a "streetcar city" with new suburbs surrounding the old village. In the old Center City the commercial core expanded, clustered around the trolley crossroads at Independence Square. Residence continued to be important, and the area continued to grow in population, but now the wealthy moved outward to the suburbs and the middle class and poor moved inward. In the 1930s and 1940s the automobile replaced the trolley as Charlotte's prime people mover, and the Center City changed again.

  • Industry, Transportation and Education
    Industry, Transportation and Education The New South Development of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County Prepared by Sarah A. Woodard and Sherry Joines Wyatt David E, Gall, AIA, Architect September 2001 Introduction Purpose The primary objective of this report is to document and analyze the remaining, intact, early twentieth-century industrial and school buildings in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County and develop relevant contexts and registration requirements that will enable the Charlotte- Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission and the North Carolina Historic Preservation Office to evaluate the individual significance of these building types. Limits and Philosophy The survey and this report focus on two specific building types: industrial buildings and schools. Several of these buildings have already been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Nevertheless, the increase in rehabilitation projects involving buildings of these types has necessitated the creation of contexts and registration requirements to facilitate their evaluation for National Register eligibility. The period of study was from the earliest resources, dating to the late nineteenth century, until c.1945 reflecting the large number of schools and industrial buildings recorded during the survey of Modernist resources in Charlotte, 1945 - 1965 (prepared by these authors in 2000). Developmental History From Settlement to the Civil War White settlers arrived in the Piedmont region of North Carolina beginning in the 1740s and Mecklenburg County was carved from Anson County in 1762. Charlotte, the settlement incorporated as the Mecklenburg county seat in 1768, was established primarily by Scots-Irish Presbyterians at the intersection of two Native American trade routes. These two routes were the Great Wagon Road leading from Pennsylvania and a trail that connected the backcountry of North and South Carolina with Charleston.

  • Historical Background Essay/Industrial and Commercial Contexts
    Charlotte Area Transit System LYNX Blue Line Extension, Northeast Corridor Historical Background Essay/Industrial and Commercial Contexts Early Settlement to World War II During the mid-eighteenth century, Ulster Scots Presbyterians and a smaller contingent of Germans streamed into the southern Piedmont and Mecklenburg County. Situated on the highest ridge between the Catawba and Yadkin rivers, Charlotte arose as the county’s trading hub and political seat. A grid of streets was platted at the junction of two trading paths which were named Trade and Tryon streets. During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the county gradually developed as a cotton producing area with plantation seats and middling farms occupying fertile bottomlands near the Catawba River and its tributaries. Early settlement patterns shaped rural development, and a series of thriving agricultural communities emerged near the seven Presbyterian churches that were established during the initial phase of settlement: Steele Creek, Sugaw Creek, Providence, Hopewell, Centre (in Iredell County), and Rocky River and Poplar Tent (in Cabarrus County) (Hanchett 1998: 8-15; Bishir and Southern 2003: 502- 503, 530). Because of its inland location too far from navigable waterways, Mecklenburg County grew slowly until the arrival of railroads. In 1852, the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad connected Charlotte to Columbia, South Carolina. Two years later, the North Carolina Railroad reached Charlotte from Goldsboro, North Carolina, linking the city to other rail junctions and markets to the east. These antebellum rail lines boosted Charlotte as a cotton market, encouraged commercial agriculture, and anticipated the city’s rise as a railroad hub and manufacturing and distribution center in the decades after the Civil War (Hanchett 1998: 200-201; Bishir and Southern 2003: 502-503) Situated far from military engagements during the Civil War, Charlotte quickly recovered and expanded its rail network in the postwar decades.

  • Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas
    Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish. Understand the confusing cultural icons of bagpipes, kilts, Celtic whistles, etc. Understand the history of Moravian, Lutheran, Mennonite, Amish, Dunkards, Presbyterian, Puritanism, Huguenot, Quaker, Methodist, Congregational, and Baptist denominations that have churches in the Carolinas. Understand why and when surnames became common. Understand ancestor Margaret Moore‘s recollections of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689. Understand motivations of Scotch-Irish and German immigrants during the 1700s and terms of their Carolina land grants. Understand relations between early Carolina immigrants and Native Americans. Understand why Scotland‘s heroine Flora Macdonald came to live in North Carolina in 1774.
