Wasn't Carolina divided in 1710? – radiojon 19:44, 2004 Apr 5 (UTC)
I think you're close. Looking at NC and SC histories, I see various dates. It seems like they grew somewhat separately and operated practically independently for some time. I've seen 1710 and 1712 as the date that the colony was divided. I can't tell how formal the division was. South Carolina did not become a crown colony until 1729, which explains where that date comes from. I have to run -- so no time to revise right now. Feel free to jump in.

INTERNAL LINK SUGGESTION: You may wish to add internal links to Monck, Craven, Carteret, and Locke to the list of approximately 50 Landgraves & Cassiques of colonial low country South Carolina prior to the Revoluntion? Also links on them back to this.
On this bit of the article:
"...the first permanent English settlement in the area was in 1653, established mainly by emigrants from the Virginia Colony with others from New England and Bermuda. Pre-empting the royal charter by ten years, they settled on the banks of the Chowan and Roanoke Rivers in the Albemarle Sound area in the northeast corner of present-day North Carolina. This settlement came to be known in Virginia as "Rogues' Harbor"."
A source for this would be nice. My understanding is that one of the early Virginia governor's (Spotswood?) called it Rogue's Harbour in a letter. The term may have been used a bit by Virginians, but the words "..came to be known as..." imply general use. I would have thought the general name for the settlements was Albemarle Settlements or just "Albemarle". ..what's the source on "Rogue's Harbour"? Pfly 18:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

The existing map showing the changing boundaries of the province is excellent. It would be helpful, however, to add some illustration of the early settlements - Roanoke, Albemarle Sound, Charleston, Wilmington, etc., and perhaps the Granville District-- Beland 09:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
When did his heirs return to claim the charter? Why did he decide to give the claim to the Lord's Proprietors?
The word "province" was never part of the official name of any of the British colonies that later formed the United States. The word "province should be removed from all articles about British colonies in N. America. I've tagged use of the word "province" in this context as original research.
