About Charlotte |
 The satellite view shows Charlotte, largest city, a transportation hub, and the seat of Mecklenburg County in North Carolina in the United States. The most unknown major city outside the US is located some miles east of the Catawba River in the Piedmont region in the south-central part of North Carolina, about 400 mi (645 km) south west of Washington D.C. and 245 mi (395 km) north east of Atlanta, GA. The Waxhaws area was settled by European immigrants in the mid 18th century near the intersection of the Great Wagon Road (Carolina Road) and the Indian Trading Path, it became the core of what is now Uptown Charlotte. The east–west trading path became Charlotte's Trade Street, and the Great Wagon Road became Tryon Stree. The city was named for the German Princess Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, German noblewoman, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and wife of the British King George III. Today Charlotte has a population of 827,000 inhabitants. In the Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill metropolitan area live 2.4 million people (in 2015). Only a few know that the 'Queen City of the Southeast' has become the second largest financial hub in the United States. Bank of America, United States' second-largest bank, and Wells Fargo Securities, the investment banking division of Wells Fargo, have their headquarters in the city.
