There is a subtle but significant French heritage in North
Carolina. The first European explorers to the North Carolina region
were, in fact, French (1524). French Huguenots migrated to the
state as early as 1690, and many North Carolinians have family
names of French origin. Towns such as Bath, Beaufort, New Bern, and
La Grange are a testimony to French settlers in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, and the city of Fayetteville is named after
the Marquis de Lafayette, a French ally during the American
Revolution. Beyond names, North Carolina has many other remnants of
the French presence sprinkled throughout the state. Built from
materials gathered from archives, libraries, interviews, and
photographs of locations relevant to the historical presence of the
French in North Carolina, this book traces the French heritage in
North Carolina from its origins to the present and tells the story
of a little-known but important part of North Carolina's cultural
history.
