Excerpt from Greensboro, N. C. Directory, 1907-08: Containing a Street, General and Business Directory of the City and Suburbs, Together With Much Useful Information Classified as Miscellaneous

The first attempt at colonization was made in 1548 by the illustrious Sir Walter Raleigh.

North Carolina was foremost to resist British tyranny. First pitched battle fought at Alamance May 12, 1771. Declaration of Independence signed at Mecklenburg, 1776. North Carolina lost 35,124 soldiers during the Civil War, having furnished more and lost a greater number of soldiers than any other Southern State (number from North Carolina, 125,000.)

The population is of a singularly homogeneous character, being Virginians, mainly English, Pennsylvanians, mainly Scotch-Irish and German; Scotch-Irish, Scotch Highlanders and Lowlanders, Swiss and French Hugenots. Population, nearly 2,000,000.

North Carolina's position is nearly between the parellels 34 degrees and 36 1/2 degrees north latitude, and between the meridians 75 1/2 degrees and 84 1/2 degrees west longitude. Extreme length, 503 1/4 miles; extreme breadth, 187 1/2 miles; average breadth, 100 miles; area, 52,286 square miles, of which 48,666 is land and 3,620 is water.

Mt. Mitchell, 6,711 feet high, is the highest peak of the Blue Ridge Range. Forty-three peaks exceed 6,000 feet in height; eighty-two peaks exceed 5,000 feet in height. The mountain region embraces 6,000 square miles. The mountains are covered with deep rich soil and clothed with massive forests to their tops. The walnuts, poplars and oaks attain a size that would hardly be credited by one who had not seen them.

All kinds of fruit attain a high state of perfection and all fruits, vegetables and grains are remarkably productive.

Average mean temperature, 59.6 from 1882 to 1897. Average snowfall for same period, 11 inches annually. Precipitation, 50.6. Wetest year on record, 1877; dryest year on record, 1897.
