North Carolina consists of 48,843 square miles of land and 3,826 square miles of inland water. Our total area of 52,669 square miles ranks North Carolina twenty-ninth in area among the states. The Old North State lies on the Eastern Seaboard with half of the population of the United States living within a 500-mile radius of the state. The state's temperate climate has four distinct seasons and is highly acclaimed for its year-round living comforts. Rainfall is adequate and dispersed over the entire year. The state is divided into three distinct topographical regions (see map): the Coastal Plain (sometimes subdivided into an Inner Coastal Plain and Tidewater region), the Piedmont Plateau, and the Blue Ridge/Appalachian Mountains. The Coastal Plain offers opportunities for farming, recreation, and manufacturing. The leading crops of this area are bright leaf tobacco, peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. Large forested areas, mostly pine, support pulp manufacturing and other forest-related industries. Commercial and sport fishing are done extensively on the coast, and thousands of tourists visit the state's many beaches. The North Carolina coast is protected by a slender chain of islands known as the Outer Banks. The Appalachian Mountains--including Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in Eastern North America (6,684 feet)-- add to the variety which is apparent in the state's topography. More than 200 mountains rise 5,000 feet or more. In this area, widely acclaimed for its beauty, tourism is an outstanding business. The valleys and some of the hillsides serve as small farms and apple orchards; and here and there are business enterprises, ranging from small craft shops to large paper and rayon manufacturing plants. The Piedmont (meaning literally "foot of the mountain"), is home to a diverse mixture of agriculture, government, manufacturing, research, and technology development. The six largest cities in North Carolina, and eight of the top ten, are in this region of the state, the exceptions being Wilmington on the Coastal Plain and Asheville in the Appalachian Mountains. The southeastern section of the Piedmont is known as the Sandhills, and is known for its nationally famous golf courses and stables. In 1927, The North Carolina General Assembly adopted "The Old North State" as the official state song of North Carolina. The Cardinal was selected by popular choice as our State Bird on March 4, 1943. The General Assembly of 1987 adopted Milk as the Official State Beverage. In 2001, the General Assembly named the Strawberry as the Official Red Berry of North Carolina, and named the Blueberry as the Official Blue Berry of the State.
