Exploring the History, Literature, and Culture of the Tar Heel State
During the month of August, we uploaded several new towns to North Carolina Postcards:
Holly Springs, Wake County
Hookerton, Greene County
Huntersville, Mecklenburg County
Palmyra, Halifax County
Rock Branch, Harnett County (later became Olivia)
Rockwell, Rowan County
Rosemary, Halifax County (later became Roanoke Rapids)
Did you know: O. Max Gardner, former North Carolina governor, captained both the NC State and UNC football teams during his time in higher education? Gardner played football as an undergrad at State; he continued his athletic pursuits while attending law school at UNC. He is still the only person ever to head both teams; I imagine it’ll stay that way, unless TJ Yates develops a taste for Raleigh nightlife.
