Granville District | was the portion of North Carolina allotted to John Carteret, Earl Granville (1690-1763), one of the Lords Proprietors, who refused to sell his interest in North Carolina to the Crown in 1729. The upper half of present-day North Carolina was included in the district, which extended from the Virginia boundary to 35°34', a strip 60 mi. wide. The southern line was run from the coast to Bath in 1744, to Haw River in 1746, and to Rocky River in 1766. The district was lost to the Granville estate at the time of the American Revolution. |
