North and South Carolina were not always separate. The city of
Charleston served as the capital of the Carolinas from 1691
to 1711. After North Carolina separated in 1712, and for
more than 100 years, the divided Carolinas disputed their
boundary. In 1815, the governments
finally agreed to a state line. In 2000, the North and South
Carolina State Geodetic Survey offices reestablished the
state line using modern technology by following a copy of
the 1815 survey map.
