Charlotte - Trade & Tryon • At its most fundamental, Charlotte exists because of its location. It’s located at a crossroads of trading paths which were Indian paths, and before that, most likely, animal migratory paths.

• Charlotte was built on the high ground between two creeks. In Europe, castles would have been built on the location, but in America, we built towns. The crossroads of what is now Trade and Tryon was situated on a trading path called the Great Wagon Road that ran along the Piedmont from Philadelphia through Lancaster County on the east side of the Appalachians.

• The trading path, about 745 miles long, ran through Charlotte on its way to Augusta. In the early 1700s, it was the path that the new immigrants took south after they arrived in either New York or Philadelphia.

Four Booms • Boom No. 1: Gold! - Charlotte’s location along the Great Wagon Road made it an important supply center throughout the Revolutionary War, but its first real economic boom came in the 1790s as gold was discovered in Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties.

• Boom No. 2: Military Base - Camp Greene is built in 1917 in just a few months on the acreage of the Dowd Farm and 60,000 men from all over the country arrived by train into Charlotte. “Each one of these soldiers,” says Saunders, “was getting $8.00 a month and $4.00 had to go home, but he had $4.00 he could spend here.”

• Boom No. 3: Electricity & Textiles – Led by the generation of electricity, Buck Duke launched its third economic boom (1904-1925) as a leading power provider and a regional textile center. Threads, elastic, fibers, and fabric were being produced. Some of the materials were sent to Michigan to be put in automobiles. Some were used in NC cities for the furniture upholstery. And much was used to make clothing ranging from socks to pants to sweaters.

• Boom No. 4: Banking - Charlotte’s fourth economic boom resulted in becoming the second largest banking center in the country. But it all started because some very entrepreneurial bankers, named Hugh McColl and Ed Crutchfield, decided (1958) they had to get bigger, and to do that they had to cross state lines.

• Following the recession of 2007 and 2008 – Jim Rogers of Duke Energy worked to create an Energy Consortium to make Charlotte an Energy Capital. – What’s Next???

Charlotte region as a global hub How will we do this?

1. “Create things” by adopting entrepreneurialism and innovation as core values of the region and provide support for innovation and new business.

2. “Make things” by growing an advanced manufacturing base and providing world class employees through exemplary education and training success.

3. “Move things” through the new intermodal center at the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. We will move people and goods faster, cheaper and more efficiently through the consolidation of train, truck, air and ship transportation.
