More on Charlotte, North Carolina
Description from Wikipedia:
Charlotte (pronounced: /ˈʃɑrlət/) is the largest city in the state of North Carolina and the seat of Mecklenburg County. In 2007, Charlotte's population was estimated to be 671,588, making it the 19th largest city in the United States. A resident of Charlotte is referred to as a Charlottean.
Nicknamed the Queen City, Charlotte (as well as the county containing it) is named in honor of the German Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg, who had become queen consort of British King George III the year before the city's founding. A second nickname derives from later in the 18th century. During the American Revolutionary War, British commander General Cornwallis occupied the city but was driven out soon afterwards by hostile residents, prompting him to write that Charlotte was "a hornet's nest of rebellion," leading to another city nickname: The Hornet's Nest.
