WELCOME to Charlotte, North Carolina … AWI Project Management Seminar June 23 & 24, 2006 Summer CATE Williamsport, PA

The Queen City Welcome to Charlotte, the Queen City. Charlotte's southern culture represents a colorful spectrum—the fine artwork of the Mint Museum—to the engine—racing thunder of NASCAR that draws more than one million visitors each year. Whether you stay a day, weekend or longer, Charlotte will keep you entertained. Around the middle of the 1700's, Scotch-Irish settlers came along the Great Wagon Road from Philadelphia. Near the Catawba River, they stopped and built a settlement which continued to grow as new neighbors moved in. The name for this new settlement was Charlotte in honor of the wife of King George III, who was the king of England.. In 1768, Charlotte became an incorporated city. Charlotte was located in the new county of Mecklenburg, which was also named in honor of Queen Charlotte's homeland of Germany. This is how Charlotte became known as the "Queen City."

In other words, it’s not all about you.
