North Carolina is known for the famous Lost Colony of Roanoke Island which was the first European settlement there. The settlers all vanished after 1587. The state was named in honor of King Charles I, of England since Carolus is Latin for Charles. North Caroline is known as the Tar Heel State. Two interesting things about this state are that they have a state carnivorous plant and also a state dog, you’ll have to guess what they are. The capital of the state is Raleigh.

7/11, knew a lot of facts about North Carolina!!!
That is a great score Anastasia you certainly knew a lot about North Carolina.
Still, if you search it everyone has something to say including that it is still a mystery Alex. Oh, well, you are probably right.
Guess you would have to go to Roanoke Island and do some exploring Alex.
Very good, Doc. Glad you enjoyed the quiz.
I didn’t do very well, but I learnt some interesting facts from this awesome quiz!
No problems the important things is that you learned about this state Ellie.
Eight out of 11 on the North Carolina quiz.
Great score. Way to go.
Thank you for the kind comments RsamaSandra.
I wonder if that tree is still around
– C R O A T O A N –
Guess you would have to go to Roanoke Island and do some exploring Alex.
even if I found a tree with that carved in, how would I know it was the original?
Do you realize how popular and perhaps rich you could be if you solved the mystery of those people today Alex? Makes me think of my two favorite series Bones and CSI now they could uncover anything no matter how old. Most likely that old tree is long dead and gone.
it isn’t a mystery. the colony collapsed and the survivors went to live with the Algonquins…
Nice quiz and photos again
Glad you’re enjoying these.
Yes, it is an interesting way to learn some things… ;))
I missed two but learned about this beautiful state.
You did good, Carol. Glad you learned something about this state.
You are teaching us so many things. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much. I took on a pretty big job since there are 50 states but I am enjoying myself putting together these quizzes.
well, I did miss 2, that I shouldn’t have, love North Carolina. Visit the outer banks all the time!
That is a great score anyway Doc. You are lucky to have a chance to travel to this state.
Over the course of 12 years of international travel, I also was in the US a lot. I have been to 50 of the 50 states and one of the two territories. Guam is the last us territory for me!
